Hi!
My name is Ildikó. I am a pharmacist living in Hungary (Europe). I make natural soap and cosmetics courses around the country. I have a lot of equipment in my car, so I can go everywhere.
I do PIFs and Safety Assesments for soap and cosmetics makers, too.
I’d like to improve my skills in formulating and know the raw materials of naturcosmetics. In the future there is some formulating service in my business plans.
I’ve just begun the course with Perry…
It’s a challenge the communication in English for me, so excuse me for my mistakes.

Hello,

My name is Arielle. I am about to get my b.s. industrial technology.  I want to learn how to formulate cosmetics in order to launch my own cosmetic line.  I enjoy making my own beauty products and would like to know as much as I can about it.  I am 23 about to start my full-time career. 

I ran across this class so unexpectedly and I am sure it will be worth it.  Thank you for this opportunity to give me a structured, overall approach to formulating cosmetics.

Good part of the day/night to everyone!
Wow, what a community! Perry , you’ve gathered almost whole world here!!!

I am Irina, i can relate myself to some members who have had their personal reason to start making their own skin/hair products. At the beginning wasn’t sure i would be able to make anything, but with time, got deeply involved, fell in love with and discovered hidden passion to formulating! I don’t know about you, but when an idea of a new product gets born in my messed up head- i literally will not rest till i make it into a product, and i mean - i cannot eat or sleep properly, constantly thinking about it, see it in my dreams, et cetera. But i feel myself as a blind kitten in this field yet and need knowledge, this why i delighted to join this course created by Perry. And would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU PERRY for doing this !

Hi everyone. I’m Kayon, living in London.
I’ve been making body butters and oil based products for a couple of years now. I’m really interested in formulating more complex products -aqueous based products- the science behind it all is quite interesting, I absolutely love the discussions.My aim is to start a small skincare brand.

Hi! My name is Cath, I go by Honey because that’s my middle name. My background is in fitness training and dietetics. I’ve wanted to formulate my own skincare for years due to suffering from sensitive skin that went even more crazy a few years ago. I have an idea about what I want to create so will be looking for ideas to help me achieve that. I dont have any training in formulating but did manage to make my own shower gel until my skin reacted to the surfactant. Hopefully at some point I will have enough experience under my belt that will enable me to help others. I would ultimately like to have my own skincare line, but to just having products that won’t make my skin a red, stinging mess would be a start

Hello, my background is in the pharmaceutical industry. I’ve been on some cosmetics training courses and currently make products such as perfumes, lotions and soaps as a hobby. I am looking to develop and commercialise plant-based body products. I joined this forum because I need some guidance and advice on how to proceed.
