If you’re visiting Casablanca and want an experience that combines local culture, natural ingredients, and creativity, a cosmetics workshop focused on traditional Moroccan products might just be the highlight of your trip. While I haven’t personally attended this workshop, reviews and detailed descriptions paint a vibrant picture of what to expect — and it certainly sounds like an enlightening, fun, and practical activity.
What makes this experience stand out? First, the hands-on approach lets you craft your own beauty products, making the souvenir not just a memory but a tangible creation. Second, it’s guided by specialists who share their knowledge about Moroccan ingredients like argan oil and rhassoul clay, straight from local sources. Third, the workshop is designed for those who love learning about natural skincare, with a friendly, sharing atmosphere that’s perfect for solo travelers, couples, or groups.
The only consideration? The activity lasts about 90 minutes, so if you’re after a quick sightseeing stop, it fits well into a morning or afternoon slot. It might not be ideal if you’re looking for a full-day adventure, but for a focused, enriching session, it hits the mark.
This workshop is best suited for travelers interested in natural beauty, hands-on activities, and Moroccan culture. It’s especially appealing for those who want a meaningful, locally rooted experience that results in a personal product they can take home.
