Meet the founders and directors

Hi. We’re Gail and Gareth.

Our journey began with a passion for reconnecting with nature’s healing power and taking control of what goes on our skin and into our bodies. 

Frustrated by the cost of buying high-quality natural and organic skincare products, we decided to take the power back for ourselves and empower others by sharing our knowledge.

Our School is dedicated to correcting widespread misinformation and giving people the opportunity to learn the professional way to make skincare, haircare and makeup from experienced cosmetic scientists.

We believe formulating should be fun! We guide our students to explore the beauty of natural ingredients, and create nourishing products that harness the nurturing power of plants in an easy-to-follow, enjoyable way. 

Many have soothed their sensitive skin, found relief from concerns like eczema and supported their toxic-free lifestyles during health journeys.

Our students have also launched successful natural and organic beauty brands in every corner of the globe.

We are really proud of the exceptional educational resources we provide, and our team of professional scientists and formulators that support our students.

Join us on your natural and organic formulation journey. We can’t wait to support you every step of the way.
