Yes, the course includes information, instructions, and guidance to help you understand how to make safe, stable, and effective products for the market.

You will learn important professional practices, including how to follow Good Manufacturing Practices, also called GMP, and how pre-market testing helps confirm that a product is safe, stable, and suitable before selling it.

When you combine proper formulation methods, GMP, and appropriate pre-market testing, you are better prepared to produce high-quality products with confidence and professionalism.

Yes, you can take the course if you live in another country. We have students from all over the world enrolled in our courses.

The course includes many resources, and we do our best to select ingredients that are commonly available and easier to source. You can also research raw material and cosmetic ingredient suppliers in your own country, as well as suppliers in other countries that may ship to you.

If you are unable to find a specific ingredient, we can help guide you with possible substitutions when needed.

The formulation training is taught in a way that can be applied internationally, so you can learn the principles of natural cosmetic formulation no matter where you are located.

Yes, you will learn how to formulate and make natural hair care and skin care products.

The course lessons are in-depth and designed to teach you the foundations of cosmetic formulation, including how ingredients work, how to create balanced formulas, and how to make products step by step.

You will learn both the theory and the practical methods needed to create natural formulations with more confidence, skill, and understanding.

Yes, we do use preservatives when they are needed, especially in water-based formulations.

Preservatives are very important because any formula that contains water can grow bacteria, yeast, and mold if it is not properly preserved. A water-based cosmetic product without a preservative is similar to leaving yogurt unrefrigerated and hoping it will stay safe. It can become contaminated and unsafe to use.

Our goal is to teach students how to create products that are safe, stable, and suitable for consumers. In the course, we educate students on preservative systems and how to use them correctly in natural formulations.

The preservatives used in our formulations are accepted by natural standards such as ECOCERT and COSMOS. We also teach about preservatives derived from renewable sources, including plant-based sources, and how to choose appropriate preservation systems for different types of products.

Our formulations use high-quality cosmetic raw materials and ingredients that are carefully selected for natural, vegan, and cruelty-free formulation.

The ingredients may include plant-based oils, butters, waxes, extracts, humectants, emulsifiers, surfactants, thickeners, active ingredients, and preservatives used in natural cosmetic formulation. Many of the ingredients are selected with a focus on renewable, bio-based, biodegradable, and sustainable options when available.

Most of the main ingredients used in the course can be sourced from cosmetic ingredient suppliers in many countries. Because students are located around the world, ingredient availability can vary by country and supplier.

We do not provide one fixed ingredient shopping list for every student because there are often ingredient options and substitutions depending on where you are sourcing from. The course teaches you how ingredients function, so you can better understand how to select appropriate ingredients and make substitutions when needed.

The course includes an Equipment Lesson that explains different equipment options based on the level and scale of production you want to work toward.

The equipment is organized into four levels:

Level 1: Kitchen Equipment
For beginners, small batches, and those just starting out.

Level 2: Lab Equipment
For formulating, testing, and small production.

Level 3: Medium Batch Production
For larger batch sizes, around 42 pounds, 5 gallons, or 19 liters.

Level 4: Manufacturing Lab Equipment
For larger-scale production using professional lab and manufacturing equipment.

You do not need to purchase expensive equipment before starting the course. Many students begin with common kitchen equipment or basic lab tools, depending on their goals and budget.

We recommend learning the course material first before buying equipment. The course will guide you through different equipment options, resources, and considerations so you can decide what makes the most sense for your formulation goals and the scale you want to start with.

To receive your diploma certificate, you will need to complete all of the lessons in the course and pass the final assessment.

Once you have completed these requirements, your diploma certificate will be issued online. You can then download, print, and frame it to celebrate this important milestone and accomplishment.

Your diploma represents the time, dedication, and skill you have developed through the course.
