Learning online doesn't mean learning alone...

Developing your own intuitive ability and confidence in the materials, is important to me so you don’t feel the need to hire experts. I see formulating as an Art where the science plays a supporting role.

I am available to answer your questions every step of the way.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never felt I could formulate a product as I felt I had a missing link. What kind of oil to use? These next few weeks with you is going to change that.

I love studying with Susan. She has created groundbreaking material that is fun to learn. Her work has been critical to me to uncover my special passion using lipids in combination with other additions to a multitude of topical preparations. If you’re serious about developing your skills with carrier oil selection or even more complex Lipid based products, Susan Parker’s workshops and materials can’t be beat!!!
