School of Natural Skincare Helpdesk

All of our courses are accredited by the CPD Certification Service, an internationally recognised body for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This accreditation demonstrates the educational quality and value of the training and confirms that the course meets recognised CPD standards.

When you complete one of our programmes, you receive a School of Natural Skincare Diploma/Certificate that carries CPD accreditation.

It’s important to explain that our courses are not academic qualifications in the same way that a university degree or government-regulated qualification would be. Instead, they are designed as practical professional training programmes that teach you the real-world skills needed to formulate natural skincare products.

In the cosmetics industry, this practical training is often what matters most. In most countries (including the UK and many international markets), a formal qualification is not legally required to start a skincare brand. What is required is that products are:

• Professionally formulated
• Safe, stable, and effective
• Correctly preserved and tested
• Properly documented for regulatory compliance

Our courses focus heavily on these real industry requirements. Students learn how to:

• Formulate professional-quality products
• Ensure formulas are suitable for preservative efficacy testing, safety assessment and stability testing
• Prepare the documentation required for cosmetic compliance.

This is why many of our graduates go on to launch their own skincare brands or develop products professionally.

The School of Natural Skincare has operated for over 16 years, trained 25,000+ students in more than 150 countries, and received multiple industry awards, so our courses have built a strong international reputation over time.
