Chocolate course review
Fun course. Would have loved a bit more help with formulations, basics. If you know basics, this is easy course.
My interest in making my own cosmetics is big
My interest in making my own cosmetics started about 5 years ago. With each passing year, my passion grew stronger, but I soon realized that I couldn't get very far on my own. So, I started searching online for schools where I could properly study. That is how I stumbled upon your page, and here I am now. I am so happy and satisfied, and I truly feel that this was a huge and right decision for me. Your school is something that truly brings joy and comfort to my soul.

Flexible and Knowledgeable Formulation Course
I really enjoyed attending the Formulator Botanica course. The schedule is very flexible, which makes it perfect for working women and busy professionals. The teachers are extremely helpful, supportive, and always willing to answer questions patiently.
Throughout the course, I gained a lot of valuable knowledge about organic skincare formulation and ingredients. The lessons are informative, practical, and easy to follow. I truly appreciate the learning experience and would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a formulator.
Great courses
Great courses, valuable and informative, very very fun and I’m so happy to be part of formula botanica students, I loved every second of it ❤️❤️❤️
My experience with Formula Botanica has…
My experience with Formula Botanica has been very positive overall. The courses are well-structured and easy to follow, which made it much easier for me to understand the fundamentals of cosmetic formulation. I especially appreciated how the lessons combine theory with practical work, because it helped me build confidence in creating my own products rather than just learning concepts.
One thing I found particularly valuable is the focus on natural and vegan ingredients. Through the course, I became much more aware of how complex ingredient sourcing can be, especially when it comes to verifying whether something is truly plant-derived. This really changed the way I approach formulation and pushed me to do deeper research, which I applied in my own project.
I also liked the flexibility of studying online, as I could learn at my own pace and revisit topics when needed. Overall, I would recommend Formula Botanica to anyone who wants to start in natural skincare formulation or build their own brand, as it provides a solid base, practical skills, and a better understanding of ingredients and product development. Keep up the good work!
A very detailed and valuable couse
A very detailed and intense course that does well to cover such a vast subject as beauty brand management. The interviews are meaningful, well selected and add valuel to each topic in the course. Thank you so much!
Diploma In Organic Skincare
I decided to enrol in the Diploma in Organic Skincare with Formula Botanica because I wanted to deepen my understanding of natural skincare and the science behind it.
Before joining, I spent quite a bit of time researching different options, and they consistently stood out as a globally respected and trusted provider in this space.
The course itself exceeded my expectations.
It goes far beyond just learning about ingredients. It gives you a solid understanding of the science behind formulations and, more importantly, how those ingredients can genuinely support the people you are creating products for.
One of the things I valued most was the focus on the customer. It really challenged me to think about who I was creating for and why, rather than just what I was making.
That shift in perspective has been incredibly valuable.
I would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to build both knowledge and confidence in natural skincare formulation.

I recently completed the Diploma in Organic Haircare Formulation with Formula Botanica, and the experience was truly fantastic. The course was structured, comprehensive, and inspiring — blending scientific rigor with practical formulation skills. I especially appreciated the clear modules, supportive community. As a creative entrepreneur, this diploma has given me the confidence and technical knowledge to refine my formulations and bring authentic, high‑quality products to life. Formula Botanica has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about organic haircare and cosmetic formulation.
Advanced Diploma has been a transformative experience
Completing this Advanced Diploma has been a transformative experience for me. It has successfully bridged the gap between my passion for natural beauty and the rigorous science required to be a professional formulator.
Mastering complex techniques, like working with sucrose ester gelled systems and understanding percutaneous absorption, has given me the technical authority I was looking for. I now feel fully equipped to ensure that every product I formulate for my brand is safe, stable, and high-performance. I am proud to graduate with the scientific expertise and confidence to provide my customers with luxury organic skincare that truly works. Thank you so much Formula Botanica.
Learning is fun!
This course was a great learning experience. They had many creative masks to try which has inspired me to experiment with my own formulas. As always, Lorraine is a great teacher and motivator! Thank you!
