April 11: Lip Butter Workshop with Priya (Means Love)
We are beyond thrilled to have Priya (of Priya Means Love Body Care) coming back to Star Bright to teach a lip butter workshop!
In this two-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to choose ingredients to make a lip balm that’s truly top notch, and you’ll create an ultra-healing lip balm of your own design! We’ll cover the importance of choosing the right carrier oils for lip balms, and you’ll learn about the process of infusing herbs into oils to create potent skin-loving ingredients. We’ll be working with a wide variety of organic herbs and essential oils grown and distilled at Star Bright Farm: calendula, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and so much more, and we’ll also play with color and texture. You’ll create your own formulation, and you’ll leave with three compostable tubes of a lip balm of your own design, plus loads of knowledge and take-home instructions.
Before the workshop begins, we will meet and mingle while enjoying refreshments. We look forward to growing this community of friendship!

About the instructor: Priya Narasimhan (she/her) is the person behind Priya Means Love - priyameanslove.etsy.com, a line of botanical skincare, haircare, bodycare, and natural fragrance, and a longtime collaborator with Star Bright Farm, crafting products with Star Bright’s beautiful herbs since 2017! Priya is a mathematician by training, but in her mid-20s she became debilitatingly ill with ME/CFS. After a lot of trial and error, she realized that chemical sensitivities are a major trigger of her health problems, and in 2009, she began formulating and crafting organic products for her body using food-like ingredients and drawing on herbal medicine, which she’d found so helpful in her healing journey. What started out as a hobby slowly and gradually grew into a full-time business, and in late 2022 Priya moved from Baltimore to the Green Mountains of Vermont, where she handcrafts her products from her home workshop and occasionally gets lost in the forest foraging plants.
