What Students Are Saying about the Certificate in Making Natural Skincare Products

I have a lotion/salve company. I needed the extra information to tighten up my formulations and to assure my customers I know what I’m doing.

— Penny

I am a massage therapist and was introduced to essential oils in school. While researching the products we use daily, I found myself feeling compromised, health-wise, and sad that my country refuses to have a strict ban on product ingredients that are harmful to all our health and well-being. Your course interested me in taking control of the quality of my personal care needs.

So I could learn the “proper” way of making products instead of trying to work out differing recipes and ingredients from a range of sources as I had been doing.

— Rebecca

It started when I delved into the essential oils world and thought I could used these on my skin, but how to deliver them safely was where I had the thought of making my own skin care products.. I still have a long way to go, and there’s so much to learn. I’m enjoying every bit of the journey at my own slow pace.

— Jayne

I was unaware of the benefits and properties of various oils, butters, etc. and how to put them together to produce desired results.

— Lillian

Just wanted to study something legit rather than just getting info off the internet.

— Kiandra

Before I started the course I was just following recipes without really knowing why certain ingredients would or wouldn’t match with each other which was rather confusing, so when I was trying something on my own I had trouble with the outcome and it was frustrating to say the least.

— Georgia

Unable to find information or recipes that use natural preservatives. Using recipes online resulted in products that were very basic.

— Carly

Understanding the products… how to blend and use all the ingredients. Knowing and understanding what causes some reactions. When you don’t know or have knowledge you feel like everything is dangerous and things can turn out negative instead of positive. But after learning, you know that some things that are said to be preservatives are actually not.

— Nur

Make products with more confidence, instead of wasting ingredients with trial and error

— Athina

More comfortable with emulsifying agents; use of preservatives and water based products.

— Andrea

I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and I feel much more confident and empowered in creating my own formulas. I still make mistakes but I can find the answer to the problem much easier since you provide many references.

— Georgia

The data is presented in an interesting way and the content is easy to grasp.

— Akanksha 

The notes are exceptionally useful – I printed them all for future use. The Facebook page is such a great resource and of course the teachers, it’s such a privilege to be able to so easily learn from industry professionals.

— Rebecca

While I was in school I only received limited information about oils, creams and skin products. By taking this course I have added to my knowledge and plan on continuing research and the craft of designing natural, organic skincare products.

— Toni

I love the templates and comparison sheets. These are great guidelines, especially since I don’t have enough time to do my own research all the time.
