Course Summary

Learn to make crystal clear washing-up liquids using plant-derived ingredients.

Understand how surfactants work and how they make your formulas effective.

Understand the ingredients used in natural washing-up liquids so you can replace them, alter them and create synergistic blends with them.

Troubleshoot your formulations and be able to adjust your design to eliminate the issue.

Who is it for?

The course on creating natural washing-up liquids from scratch is designed for individuals looking to expand their knowledge and expertise in this area.
Participants do not need to have prior experience in formulating, but having some understanding of surfactants can be beneficial. While sample formulas will be shared, the main objective of the course is to empower students to create their own custom formulations.

It's important to note that this course is not a typical do-it-yourself (DIY) tutorial. Rather, it focuses on the significance of hands-on practice and thorough research to facilitate comprehensive learning and skill development.

Course notes to download and keep forever.

Video lectures to provide a solid foundation before you start to formulate.

Closed community so you can interact with others taking the same course.

The workshop is excellent, very well organized, clear and easy to understand, the material is interesting and suitable even for beginners. I definitely recommend it :)

Frequently Asked Questions

The difference is the support you are getting.
In the Standard course, you get all the course guides, videos, etc but you won't be able to ask questions, or get feedback. This is suited for you if you have a good understanding of ingredients, formulating in general and you are confident you can troubleshoot formulation issues.

The Standard Plus members, however, can ask me questions under each Lesson. The questions must be related to the relevant Lessons as I cannot help with general formulation issues, I'm afraid. (For example: I cannot help with issues with a lotion if it is solid bar course).

The course access is 60 days. You can complete the course anytime within this time period. The Modules, however, will open daily, not in one go.

The course is self-paced but I do recommend creating some sort of study schedule for yourself. The Modules open daily, not at once to keep the information easily digestable. This approach allows you to focus on one module at a time and fully grasp the content before moving on to the next one.

You certainly can, you will need to pay $12 a month until you wish to have access. Please email [email protected] to arrange this.

Ideally, you would need to have some cosmetic formulating knowledge such as how to formulate facial oils, butters perhaps but it is not an acceptance criteria.


If you purchase the Standard package, you won't be subscribing to Tutor support within the relevant Lesson in the course.

The Standard Plus members, however, can talk ask me questions under each Lesson. The questions must be related to the relevant Lessons as I cannot help with general formulation issues, I'm afraid. (For example: I cannot help with issues with a lotion if it is solid bar course)

As this is a Digital course, once you access the course, there will be no opportunity for a refund. If you are unsure if the course is right for you, please email me at [email protected] before purchasing the course. I will be happy to set up a 10 mins chat to help you decide. 

There may be a quick quiz at the end of some of the Modules - depending on the course. You will need to pass these (75% is required) to move on. The quizzes are short, perhaps five questions long to assess that you understood the Module. 

At this point, no certificates are awarded for short courses. 

I am a qualified Cosmetic Chemist and also a Teacher with nearly 20 years experience. I specialise in natural cosmetics, but I formulate all kinds of cosmetics from haircare, through make-up, oral and nail care. Your work will be assessed by me only and I will provide all course support.
