Fantastic and valuable course!

This course is a fantastic resource for preparing to launch a beauty business. I feel very confident that it covered all the points and the insights into every aspect of running a product based business. Including marketing! I am amazed to learn how much more complex the decision to launch a business is than I initially expected but I do feel empowered to be able to do it despite that. I feel that this course is excellent at helping me to lay the groundwork and planning for a successful business. (It may be underpriced as it opened my eyes to so many strategies that will no doubt pay for itself over and over).

I feel so lucky and privileged 😍

I feel so lucky and privileged to have taken my diploma with a company who believe in my same beliefs. Love to listen to Lorraine with her science knowledge and passion for nature and natural products. So inspiring! I was looking forward to study every single module 😍Generally all the tutors and fellows formularies are so supportive and I’m so had to be part of the big Formula Botanica family.
I have been making soap and simple formulations for more than a decade but this course is much more. It’s empowering me to go a few steps up! Love you guys and looking forward to finishing the other diplomas I’m booked for 🙏

Great school, incredible course and wonderful community

Thank you Formula Botanica for this incredible learning experience.
Starting as a total beginner I can call myself now an experienced formulator. The diploma of organic skincare formulation is an incredible course and so much more than that. You learn how to research ingredients and can get really deep into the matter if you wish to.
I am now able to formulate, stability test and put together a whole range of different formulations and adapt them to very specific skin needs.
Thank you to Lorraine Dallmeier for putting the vision and the school and the community there. The community is the best I know. Thank you to all tutors, all the student mentors, and the student support team as well as the wonderful community! You make all the difference.
Really looking forward to my next course which is the Business Diploma 💕

The Formula Botanica Certificate in Organic Anti- Aging Skincare is a great course

The Formula Botanica Certificate in Organic Anti Aging Skincare course is a great course. The lessons were full of information on how to plan your formula, research to choose the right ingredients and how to formulate your ingredients.

There was plenty of informational and research material, links to websites for additional and more in depth research as well as forms to help with research and taking notes in developing your formula.

There is a lot of support from the staff and the response to questions were answered in a timely manner. There is a community other students that you can connect with for additional support.

What I really liked was that the information in this course was well research and accurate, debunking a lot of the misinformation that is out there on the internet. I learned so much from this course and I am glad that I took it.

This was a roller costar of emotions for me. It took me a little longer because I was dealing with my dads health issues and unfortunately he passed, which was hard for me, but I had the opportunity for Formula Botanica to extend my studies until I finally passed. Thank you

An Incredible Learning Experience

Formula Botanica has been an absolute game-changer in my formulation journey! The course was in-depth, well-structured, and incredibly practical, giving me the confidence to create stable, effective, and science-backed formulations.

One of the standout aspects was the detailed tutor feedback, which pushed me to think critically and refine my skills. The eLearning platform was easy to navigate, and the support from both the Formula Botanica team and the student community made the experience even more rewarding.

From understanding ingredient synergy to troubleshooting real-world formulation challenges, this course has equipped me with everything I need to take my skills to the next level. I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about professional skincare formulation!

Formular Botanica online program is worth every amount and time.

Formular Botanica online program is an amazing program. A self pased program that does not leave you to yourself because of the facebook online classroom that sometimes feels like a physical room. I enjoyed every day of my studies.

The resources are so helpful and detailed. Videos are easy to follow amd not over burned. I have really enjoyed my study period.

My grading tutor was amazing very encouraging and helpful with her reviews during my final project.

I think formula botanica is dont incredibly great for formulators and aspiring fomulators. This is a great space to learn and be a fomulator or an improved fomulator. I have enjoyed and been challenged every step of the way and that was exactly what I expected.
