Making Roman Ointments and Tooth Powder
Overview
Intro
Immerse yourself in the world of ancient recipes and make a fragrant ointment and other natural cosmetics.
During an excavation, archaeologists discovered three Roman ointment vials belonging to a wealthy resident of Augusta Raurica: We’re following these mysterious clues, as they hold the key to our ointment recipes. We use raw materials that have been in use for 2,000 years and that we can still gather from nature today—such as fir resin or sage. In the workshop, we’ll also make a dental care powder from natural ingredients.
