Learn to make Gels, Creams, Lotions
and Foaming Products from Raw Ingredients.

Learn all the techniques you need to make beautiful cosmetic products

Making many toiletry products is based around a few techniques that are used universally in the industry. From learning a few of these it is possible to create a wide range of products. Similar concepts are use to create most cream products, so once the technique is learned a whole range of different types of products can be formulated.

The idea of this course is not to provide a 'ready to go' list of formulas for starting a business but to teach the basic fundamentals of the individual products. This will allow you to go away and formulate a unique range of products using the information learned on the course.

The cosmetic information you will cover on the course

Basic Science of Emulsions
Choosing a preservative
Cream based products (3 different types)
Detergent products (washing)
Exfoliating products
Carbomer based Skin Gel
Basic product development ideas and testing
Carrier Oil & Essential Oil basics

Whilst we can't discuss every available ingredient on the market the course should give attendees a grounding in how different types of ingredient work. This allows them to apply those skills to their own formulating using different ingredients, for the same or similar purpose.

There is time during the making process dedicated to talking about the use of each individual ingredient in the product and how they can be replaced or the quantity modified. We look at each individual ingredient and detail their origins and uses.

We teach you to use Raw Ingredients, not Pre-mixed blends

We do not use pre-mixed emulsifiers to formulate products, as we feel this doesn't allow enough freedom to create a unique product. These type of mixed ingredients lead to formulating similar products to other producers. They are often much more expensive that buying individual ingredients and they will lead to a supplier reliance, that is not healthy for business. We will teach you to use each individual ingredient, and to understand what each one is. From that information you can purchase from numerous different suppliers.

The last afternoon of the course is spent with each attendee formulating their own moisture cream with some guidance. This is a great, fun way to end the course and very informative. It allows each person to consider their own aims and work with the ingredients used in the previous products to produce their own.

The course discusses the concepts of natural products, the use of preservatives and the use of essential oils and carrier oils in products. However this is not an aromatherapy course and there is no teaching of the effects/legal uses of essential oils.

You Take Home

You will receive a full set of notes to compliment the course including the formulations for each product made. You also take away everything you make. We do not make products in groups, there is enough equipment for everyone to make their own products and these can be taken away from the course.

Attendees usually end up with around 3kg in total of product to take away.

You will receive a certificate of attendance.

We do not directly teach basic mathematics skills (weighing, percentages etc.) however we have a section on our website dedicated to these skills and would advise if attending a course you read these to give your maths skills a little polish.

We do not cover soap or make-up production on this course, please see the itinerary for products made.

Where is the Course Held?

Our Courses are held at our Farm in Wallington, We are just 30 minutes by train from central London (served by both Wallington and Carshalton train stations) and have plenty of on-site parking. There are lots of local hotels and AirBnB's.

A fun and friendly environment to
make skincare products.

Our primary objective throughout the day is to ensure you learn as much as possible, whilst enjoying your day in a friendly and informal environment. We do our best to ensure that you have to think about nothing other than enjoying and maximising your day.

The items you need to bring

Part of your course will be a presentation using a projector and there will be printed material to read, so don't forget your glasses if you need them.
Sensible Clothing; you are provided with an Apron, but we will be using oil and ingredients that could stain, so consider this in your clothing choices.
Sensible Shoes; wear comfortable, grippy shoes. We are on a tiled surface, so High heel shoes aren't particularly suitable.
Money if you wish to purchase any ingredients / packaging during / after your course. We can ship any items direct to your home to save you carrying them.

The items we provide

Course Notes
Pens and Paper for writing down your own notes
Protective Aprons, Gloves and Googles
All ingredients and equipment to produce the course items

Food and Drink

We provide Light Refreshments, Snacks, Tea & Coffee throughout the day. In addition a hot lunch is served at lunchtime. We do our best to cater for everyone but if you have very specific needs there is a microwave and hot water available. We cater for vegetarian requirements but cannot guarantee a vegan option.

If you have particular intolerances or allergies, then we do recommend bringing your own food and drink. Food and drink is prepared in an area where it may come in contact with nuts, so please bare this in mind in case of any allergy.

How your day will begin

Our courses typically start between 9am and 10am. You can arrive any time after 8am and use our complimentary tea, coffee and breakfast cereals whilst you wait for the course to start.

You will meet your tutor Tom and we always start with introductions, understanding what each of us wants to get out of the course. We always have a wide range of customers from those having some fun, to those with more serious business aims. It makes a good mix and an environment where everyone learns the maximum possible. It is a good time for Tom to understand what you all want out of the course and thus he can take the course the most suitable way for everyone's needs.

We quickly get into the practical work.

You will have a morning break for Tea, Coffee and Snacks and then lunchtime is typically an hour between 12:30 and 13:30.

We normally finish between 4pm and 5pm.

Cancellation of your Course Space

We aim to offer a flexible approach to cancellation as we understand circumstances change.

If you cancel more than 30 days before your course, you will be entitled to a full refund.

If you cancel within 30 days of the course date, you are not entitled to a refund or to swap to another date.

However, we will endeavour to resell your course place to another customer.

We normally have a waiting list, so if you think you need to change your course date, letting us know as early as possible ensures the highest chance of us being able to resell your course space and then being able to offer you a refund or move you on to a different course.
