The Diploma in Natural Skincare Formulation teaches you to formulate your own products by providing you with the following for each product type we cover:


  • A detailed explanation of the formula type and what ingredients are used in that type of formula
  • A template formula - which gives you the percentage ranges for all the different types of ingredients. You can then use this template to create your own formulations.
  • At least one example formulation where we have created a formula and explained to you each step of the product development process including who the product is for, what problems it will solve and exactly why we have chosen each ingredient and its benefit/function in the formula.
