    I am not a chemist or have a science background. I am a mere soap maker and have only added oil blends and body butters to my small line. And I have seen a lot of deceitful claims all over from other small handcrafters. While some are promoted their goods with full knowledge of the untruths behind their labels, others are rushing in without doing their proper research and are ignorant to FDA regs. The good news is the FDA is going after companies who make these false claims.
    I am new to this forum and even though crafters like me can benefit from the bits of information, until I have completed some online courses, or pay for consulting services, I shall leave formulating to the professionals

    I’m looking for online courses or books that could help me get started with the basics. Is this something that even someone with no cosmetic formulating background could enroll in?( well worked for a large manufracturer years ago BUT only as a show coordinator And I do have a small soap company now). I would like to start with training wheels so to speak.

    Hey Y’all 
    I own a small soap company based out of Abilene, Tx. I started the company so we could move from our ranch and be able to take care of our grand daughter while her parents serve in the Air Force. No more 9-5 for this girl. Now we liked to expand into a few skincare products. A eye makeup remover and hydrating facial mist. I’m hoping to get pointing in the right directions on what books would be good to purchase and if there are any seminars or classes to take that specialize in natural skincare BUT with safer perservitives. Thanks for letting me join this group! Y’all be sweet!
