The ingredients you need will depend on what you want to make.
To give you an idea, to try out making facial oils, balms, body butters and creams/lotions you can begin with just a few ingredients, for example two to four carrier oils, two to four essential oils, a butter, a wax, an emulsifier and a preservative.
From there, you can gradually get more ingredients as you start making different products. Many of the recipes need similar ingredients, so once you have a few supplies, there are lots of recipes you can try.
If you are on a budget, you can certainly practice first with less ingredients.
to get you started, you can download the ingredient starter list for the Certificate in Making Natural Skincare Products, our shorter beginners' course.
As part of all our courses, you receive a comprehensive global supplier list featuring hundreds of cosmetic suppliers, many of which deliver internationally.
We also have a smaller supplier list on our website you might want to look at in the meantime:
