Natural skincare formulation course

Description

Would you love to create your own lip balms, cleansers, moisturisers and shampoos? Perhaps you're looking for a specific type of cosmetic, like a vegan, organic lipstick, or something without certain ingredients that you are allergic to, and you can't find exactly what you want? Or perhaps you dream of owning your own skincare brand and are looking for a place to get started (more on that later!). If you've tried following along with YouTube tutorials, you may not have been happy with the results. Sometimes it's not obvious that the recipes given are actually unsafe. Perhaps you've seen instructions like 'add 10 drops of essential oil', 'add beeswax as an emulsifier' or 'keep the shampoo in the fridge to stop it going off'. These are all sure signs of someone who doesn't understand formulation, and the products resulting will be ineffective and potentially very dangerous. In this course, I'm not going to teach you to follow recipes, I'll teach you to formulate, which means you'll be able to design and create any type of skincare product from scratch, using ingredients of your choice, and knowing that your final product is safe, stable and effective. About Me: I am an experienced cosmetic formulator, with my own skincare brand, Natur Cosmetics. As well as years of experience, I have Diplomas in Skincare Formulation, Organic Skincare Formulation, Formulating Natural Makeup and Advanced Colour Cosmetics, Natural Haircare Formulation, Beauty Brand Business Management, and an Advanced Diploma in Organic Cosmetic Science. You can rest assured that you are getting sound advice on this course!
