ITEC Certificate in Natural Cosmetic Formulation

Become a Certified Natural Cosmetic Formulator – 100% Online

Turn your passion for natural cosmetics into real formulation knowledge and practical skills with our ITEC-accredited Certificate in Natural Cosmetic Formulation.

This comprehensive 100% online course takes you beyond simply following recipes. You will learn the principles and science behind cosmetic formulation, giving you the knowledge and confidence to understand ingredients, develop formulas and create your own natural cosmetic products.

Everything You Need to Learn Natural Cosmetic Formulation

Across 15 comprehensive modules and +60 lessons, you will learn how to formulate products across four major areas:

  • Skincare — facial and body creams, lotions, serums, cleansers, balms and more
  • Haircare — shampoos, conditioners and other natural hair formulations
  • Natural Fragrance — understanding aromatic materials and creating natural fragrance blends
  • Traditional Soapmaking — understanding the principles, calculations and practical process of traditional soapmaking

You will also develop a strong understanding of cosmetic ingredients and raw materials, their functions, how to select them and how to use them correctly within a formulation.

Theory + Practical Formulation

Formulation is a practical skill.

That is why the programme combines comprehensive theory lessons, practical exercises and 25 HD formulation videos, +100 skincare formulas , 4 eBooks allowing you to see products being formulated and techniques demonstrated step by step.

You will be encouraged to formulate, experiment and apply what you learn throughout the programme.

Learn to Formulate — Not Just Follow Recipes

There are thousands of cosmetic ingredients available, with new ingredients continually entering the market.

No course can teach you a separate recipe for every possible ingredient.

Instead, I teach you something much more valuable: how formulation works.

You will learn why ingredients are used, how they interact, how to understand supplier information and how to build and adapt formulas yourself.

The goal is for you to develop the confidence to look at an ingredient and understand how, why and where you could use it in a formulation.

100 Additional Cosmetic Recipes Included

You won’t leave the course short of inspiration either.

In addition to the formulations demonstrated throughout the course and practical videos, you will receive an ebook containing 100 additional recipes for skincare, haircare and traditional soapmaking.

These give you an extensive library of formulations to explore while you continue developing your own formulation skills.

4 Ebooks Included

Your course also includes 4 ebooks designed to complement your learning and provide valuable reference material that you can return to as you develop your formulation knowledge.

This includes your 100 Recipes ebook, covering skincare, haircare and soapmaking formulations beyond those demonstrated in the course videos.

Learn How to Sell Your Cosmetics Legally

Knowing how to make a beautiful cosmetic product is only part of the journey.

If your goal is eventually to sell your products, the course also provides clear guidance on EU cosmetic regulations and the steps involved in placing cosmetic products legally on the EU market.

You will gain an understanding of the regulatory process and the responsibilities involved in bringing a cosmetic product to market, including areas such as:

EU cosmetic regulations · Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR) · Product Information Files (PIF) · CPNP notification · cosmetic labelling · Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) · responsible persons and regulatory responsibilities. 

The aim is to help you understand not only how to formulate your products, but also the pathway you need to follow if you decide to turn your formulations into a cosmetic business.

Please note that completing the course or receiving the ITEC certificate does not itself legally authorize a cosmetic product for sale. Each product must still comply with the applicable EU cosmetic requirements before being placed on the market.

My Direct Tutorial Support

You are not learning alone.

Although the programme is completely online, you will have my direct tutorial support throughout your studies.

You can ask questions when you need clarification and receive guidance as you work through the lessons and develop your formulation skills.

You are not simply purchasing a collection of prerecorded videos. You are joining a structured professional training programme with personal tutor support.

Assessment & ITEC Certification

Your learning combines theory, practical exercises and a final examination.

On successful completion of the required coursework and assessment, you will receive your ITEC Certificate in Natural Cosmetic Formulation.

Study entirely online and progress through the programme from wherever you are.

Testimonials.

Wapo beauty school was invaluable for me when I wanted to transition from being a nonprofessional, kitchen formulator to becoming a fully fledged cosmetics brand. Mayca is amazing and so helpful. Couldn't recommend her school enough. Thanks for starting me off on my skincare brand journey . Love your workshops and tutorials.
Helen, Keegan & Co. BotanicalsSkincare Course & Consultancy
I enjoyed your recent workshop on facial skincare, and the great products we made, along with your gifts and generous sharing of more formulas to work with at home. Your approach shows and inspires respect for natural quality ingredients, and integrity in the making process . It expands understandings of what quality means in awareness of own daily skincare choices, for ourselves , family and friends.

I worked with Mayca during both a private consultation and her fantastic Shampoo Bar workshop. Mayca is really an expert on formulation and makes it very clear on how to bring a natural product from formulation to the market safely. She gave me the confidence to keep going to get my product to where she knew I could bring it. She provided me with so much information on where to buy reliable raw ingredients and all the safety assessment guidelines that I needed to follow. I highly recommend both her courses and her private consultation, you will have fun, be inspired and ready to create beautiful cosmetic products.

Hi Mayca. I just want to thank you for all your classes. I did some classes before somewhere else and I must say, didn’t learn half of the stuff that you are offering in your classes. Honestly I feel I did waste my money there???? but with all your training and information I feel confident and believe I found myself a future. I would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you again.

Brenda, TipperarySkincare Workshop
Thank you Mayca for a wonderful workshop today. I came home with some divine body butter, lip balm and bath cookies all made without preservatives and smell amazing! I never knew natural skincare was so easy! For someone who is allergic to everything, my mam couldn't stop raving about her new body butter which had already improved her skin by the time we got home. We will be making more. These are her pretty packages.
