Natural skincare making with Prof. Lilis Sukeksi
Having gathered such a large plant collection, Socfindo Conservation wanted to explore the potential opportunities of making skin care products from its plants. Since there is a global movement towards combining skincare with organic products where people look for plant-based ingredients in their beauty products. Many opportunities lie in the downstream market. Therefore Prof Lilis Sukeksi was invited from University of North Sumatra to hold a workshop in making natural skincare products such as bar soap, shampoo, face wash and moisturizer.
