Discover the science behind clean beauty with Elodie's Naturals! Alliance Française of Washington, DC invites you to participate in an interactive workshop with Elodie Cally, the founder of the Arlington-based skin care and beauty company. Enjoy a unique experience and create your own skincare products. Made by you and for you.

This event will be held on Zoom in English.

During this workshop you will be making a Lemon Scrub with Olive Powder. You will learn the “gel technique” in skincare chemistry and with only 5 ingredients, will make a scrub that can gently remove toxins and exfoliate. This recipe was voted the best scrub among Ellody's 100+ students in 2020.

If you wish to fully participate in this workshop and create your own product, pre-order the Provence Exfoliating Lemon Scrub DIY Kit here ($29.99 + $2.90 shipping fee). It will be shipped on the week of April 26. PLEASE ORDER BEFORE APRIL 26 TO HAVE YOUR ORDER SHIPPED IN TIME FOR THE EVENT. With this kit, you can make the scrub twice. Elodie also recommends buying some distilled water in advance (it is NOT included in the kit).
