It’s a common belief: stability testing is too complex, expensive, or unnecessary for smaller brands.
As a result, many avoid it altogether.
Instead, they rely on the notion that natural cosmetics are expected to be inconsistent. These issues are often dismissed with statements like, “It’s natural—this is just how natural products behave.”
Your lotion separates after a few weeks.
A product you worked hard to perfect changes colour over time.
Your balm is so grainy, it looks like fish eggs.
But the truth is, these aren’t inevitable quirks of natural cosmetics—they’re signs of instability that can be prevented.
With the right knowledge and tools—like the ones taught in this course—you’ll learn how to identify potential issues early and ensure every product you create is stable, safe, and market-ready.
Say goodbye to product separation, discolouration, or texture changes. With the skills you’ll gain, your products will meet the highest standards of consistency and performance.
Learn how to troubleshoot common stability issues with confidence, saving you countless hours and avoiding costly reformulations.
Build trust with your customers and stand out in a competitive market by offering products backed by rigorous testing.
Develop a customised stability testing plan for your formulations, ensuring efficiency and precision at every stage
Think discolouration is just something natural products do?
Let me share an example that proves otherwise.
I once worked on a brightening face serum that looked stunning at first—until it started turning brown within weeks. Many would chalk it up to “natural oxidation,” but through stability testing, I uncovered the true culprit: an unstable combination of active ingredients and pH drift over time.
By tweaking the pH and incorporating stabilising ingredients, I resolved the issue and created a formula that retained its colour, potency, and appeal for months.
This is what stability testing delivers: the ability to pinpoint and fix hidden issues, ensuring products not only perform but also maintain their professional quality.
This comprehensive course is designed to teach you the science and techniques of stability testing—essential for creating safe, reliable formulations that meet professional standards.
While the content can be covered in just a week, its depth ensures you’ll return to it again and again as your formulations grow more complex.
With 6 months of access, you’ll have the time and flexibility to absorb the material, refine your skills, and revisit lessons as you apply stability testing to your work.
Created by a cosmetic chemist with real-world experience, this course fills the gap for serious formulators who want clear, science-backed guidance to elevate their product development.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
No more guesswork—spot and resolve issues like discolouration, separation, or pH drift with confidence.
Create testing plans and perform critical tests specific to your formulations, ensuring every product meets professional standards.
Learn the essentials of organising a functional, productive environment for accurate stability testing.
Build a reliable system for recording and interpreting data, giving you the confidence to validate your products for the market.
With these skills, you’ll not only create safe, stable, and high-quality products but also position yourself as a trusted professional in the competitive world of cosmetic formulation.
