Sage Cosmetic Coaching

Sage Cosmetic Coaching was founded in 2017 by Lu Wilson and Polly McCourt — two devoted skincare enthusiasts with a combined 25+ years of experience in natural health and natural skincare. What began as a shared love of botanicals, formulation, and ingredient discovery has grown into a welcoming, education-driven space where makers of all levels can tap into the joy of creating their own skincare.

At Sage, the mission is simple: to empower people to create beautiful, effective, natural products with confidence. Through hands-on workshops, accessible education, and thoughtfully sourced materials, we aim to spark curiosity and creativity in every maker who walks through our doors or joins us online.

We believe skincare is more than just products — it’s about understanding what goes onto your skin, how ingredients are sourced, and the environmental impact of commercial cosmetics. Our teachings encourage mindful making, sustainability, and an appreciation for the power of natural ingredients.

Whether you’re experimenting with scents and textures, learning new formulation techniques, or diving deeper into the science of skincare, we’re here to guide and support you. Sage Cosmetic Coaching offers up-to-date information, beautiful natural ingredients, expert guidance, and endless inspiration — everything you need to explore, create, and fall in love with the art of natural skincare.

✨ Skincare Experiences for Tweens & Teens

🧪 School Holiday Skincare Making Workshop

Our full-day, hands-on workshop runs from 9 am to 3 pm and is perfect for creative kids aged 8+. During the day, participants make a variety of natural skincare products from scratch, learning about ingredients, formulation, and how to personalise recipes for their own skin.

Each child takes home all the products they make, along with the recipes so they can recreate them at home.

Upcoming workshop dates include 28 January, 8 April, and 15 April 2026.

📌 Pricing:

General admission: $145

This workshop is both educational and fun, helping develop STEM skills such as weighing, measuring, and mixing in an exciting, practical way. It’s suitable for beginners as well as those who have made skincare products before.
