Friday open day tomorrow at the Lab! Come and pick up some special Christmas gifts and see what we are making.

Tomorrow there'll be two live distillations—first is the vibrant blue German chamomile essential oil (as used in our 'Calm' range) Can you see the blue tinge of the chamazulene in the hydrosol's mister tube?

We also have our famous 'Blue' tea, featuring the magical colour-changing butterfly pea. This is a fun gift for kids—we put some in their lemonade and watch it change from a deep inky blue to a blushing pink. Plus herbal honeys, and an array of balms, creams and soothing gels.

And Jill will be distilling a Christmas gin to give to our clients and friends—come and have a taste!

Friday 19th December
10am-4pm
13 Moa Ave, Blackpool

Everyone welcome.
