For most people, it's just the recipe they need, because they
feel recipe for skin care should pretty much work same way with recipe as for cooking or baking but this is different

If you want gain confidence in your formulations then you have to know what ingredients to work with. For example, for if you are working at acne, pimples, and you want to layer your ingredients.'

So if you have gone through our training, you should know which layer each ingredient will belong and importantly the exact quantity and percentage to incorporate.

For creams and others  we call leave on ingredients, you want to incorporate the oils so the stay longer and for the wash off products like scrub or soap, you could include the Activated Charcoal or any other extract acne cleansing extract.

You also bear in mind the skin type and the relevant oils that are suitable. That you should find in the training on directory of oils and relevant skin type. Again check to include ingredients that will also add some glow to the skin.
