“The courses provided a scientific approach that changed everything. Before joining the School of Natural Skincare, I struggled with DIY recipes and found formulation difficult. Now, I can confidently create skincare products. The worksheets were especially helpful in guiding my formulations. Thank you for changing my perspective on natural skincare!”

“My goal was to set up my own natural skincare business, and the course has been worth every penny! Before, I had no idea where to start with formulating and felt lost with all the conflicting information online. The videos were incredibly helpful, and now I’m confident in my knowledge of ingredients and can create effective, natural skincare products.”

Norma Segovia, USA

Skincare Formulator

“I didn’t know anything about preservatives or emulsifiers and many other ingredients. I was following other recipes on the internet, incorrectly believing an internet recipe is safe and accurate, but I never used a formula. I can now formulate, myself, without copying it off the internet! Now, I am confident in myself and feel proud.”

Skincare and Haircare Formulator
“These courses helped me learn how to create effective emulsions and serums at a professional level. The video demonstrations and textbooks were incredibly useful, and I’m proud of my progress. I’m so grateful for this school—it’s exactly what I needed to launch my dream natural skincare brand. ”
Resham Odhrani, UAE

Skincare Formulator

“I have always loved serums on my skin; they are so hydrating for our skin so I always wished to make them myself…this is what motivated me to take this course. I used many serums but I wanted to make them specifically for my skin and especially to have anti-aging properties. I learned a lot from this course…Now I can make serums according to my skin type. Many thanks!”

“Color cosmetics is really a new world to delve into and I really love it! I have learned so much that I didn’t know before. After joining the makeup & advanced color cosmetics course, I now understand more about colors, how to choose the right colors for different blends to make different hues or grades for different skins. I can now formulate my own range of makeup, color cosmetics and tinted skincare products!”
Leticia Lebron, USA
Natural Soap Formulator
“I had no experience at all but this course was so well put together and it showed me how to confidently create healthy soaps safely. I loved that this course included lots of great videos as I am more visual. I also enjoyed reading the course materials as it gave very important information. I am looking forward to more courses and classes with you!”
Heather Weinbau-Literski, USA
Skincare, Haircare, Makeup and Natural Soap Formulator
“Before the course I didn’t know how to modify recipes or scale up correctly. I also didn’t understand how to select the right ingredients based on skin type. Since taking the course I can formulate with ease! The course was perfect for me. The videos, written materials, worksheets and assignments were great. I have gained so much knowledge, inspiration and a wonderful community – we all learn together and support one another.”

Joanne Mashmedt, Australia
Skincare Formulator
“I wanted to learn how to make my products better, so I can sell them rather than just creating gifts for friends and relatives. I didn’t know how to measure ingredients correctly or know enough about preservatives. I also didn’t know anything about turning my hobby into a business. I loved the course. It has helped me become more professional in every way. I really valued the self-spaced learning and the different types of support. I now have the knowledge and confidence to turn my hobby into a business.”
Kai Dawei, Taiwan
Skincare and Haircare Formulator
“I’ve been a student at the School of Natural Skincare for about a year, and the courses are well-taught and valuable, even for those with prior experience. The community is vibrant, with experts readily available to explain everything from simple to complex topics. I appreciate their mission to promote healthy, eco-friendly cosmetics without fear-mongering. The best part is how the school encourages hands-on decision-making for your business, products, and customers. The staff and owners are truly wonderful!”
Simona Mohar Karakatic, Slovenia
Skincare, Haircare and Makeup Formulator
“I have never created makeup products before but I love making natural cosmetics for myself and my family so I wanted to do this too. Thanks to the Diploma in Formulating Natural Mineral Makeup and Advanced Color Cosmetics, I got a lot of ideas and instructions on how to create my own makeup and color cosmetics. I really enjoyed watching the demonstrations. Thank you for your efforts and for such a wonderful course!”

Kaylene Bush, USA
Makeup Formulator
“I have vastly expanded my product range to now include lots of amazing color cosmetics. Before this course, I could only make loose mineral makeup and a few anhydrous products. Now, I’m comfortable making emulsion-based products and much better at pressed mineral cosmetics. Learning about emulsifiers and seeing the processes demonstrated really helped. Knowing what products should look like has made the whole process so much easier.”
Camelia Cherry, UK

Haircare Formulator

“Nothing can compare with the knowledge you get from this course. I have a sensitive scalp, and nothing on the market has worked for me. I joined the Diploma in Natural Haircare Formulation to learn how to make my own shampoos, and it’s been life-changing—I may even switch careers! The course offers invaluable knowledge on ingredients, formulation, and legal requirements. It’s well-structured, packed with information, and perfect for anyone wanting to become an organic haircare formulator. I highly recommend it!”
M Y Toh, China

Skincare Formulator

“I love that the Diploma in Natural Skincare Formulation is online, allowing me to study at my own pace. Living in China for work, this flexibility lets me continue learning from anywhere. The course provides a clear summary of everything needed to be a formulator and is easy to understand. It’s helped me grasp the importance of mixing ingredients for effective products, and I now have a much better understanding of skincare formulation.”
