a lipid based approach to anti-aging skincare

Restoring Skin Resilience

How to formulate your own anti-aging facial oils with botanical lipids 

join the COurse

Aging is natural but so is the skin's ability to protect, repair, and renew itself. Much of what we call "anti-aging" begins with understanding how the skin functions so that we can minimize disruption and support the natural repair and renewal process. 

The skin is an intelligent, self-repairing organ working continuously to restore balance, maintain hydration, defend itself, and renew its structure.

Resilience is its superpower and when we avoid unnecessary stress from aggressive skincare practices while providing the skin with supportive lipids from botanical oils, butters, and waxes, we reinforce functions the skin is already designed to perform.

This is where we begin in Restoring Skin Resilience.

What you'll learn

  • The Lipid Landscape of Aging Skin
    See how fatty acids, waxes, and ceramides naturally decline with age and how this contributes to dryness, thinning, and loss of tone.
  • The Skin Barrier & Ceramide Structure
    Understand how the stratum corneum functions as an intelligent, layered defense system and why barrier support is key to slowing visible aging.
  • Lipid Oils and Plant Butters for Aging Skin
    Discover the oils that deliver linoleic acid, very-long-chain fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant sterols, all crucial to restoring barrier function.
  • Hydration & TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss)
    Learn how aging skin loses moisture and how oils help replenish moisture without disrupting skin's natural functions.
  • Key Functions of the Skin (and How to Support Them)
    Antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory support, wound healing, microbial protection, see how to formulate in ways that support and complement these natural processes.

Formulating

You'll put theory into practice with 6 hands-on formulas that you can rebuild as is, or use the knowledge gained in the core lessons to design your own formulas.

  1. 1
    Hydration - This formula brings together very-long chain fatty acid oils and omega-7 to slow Transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  2. 2
    Inflammation - Chronic inflammation damages collagen and accelerates the visible signs of aging. This formula draws on the anti-inflammatory properties of GLA, phytosterols, and linoleic acid to create an anti-inflammatory facial oil for daily use.
  3. 3
    Antioxidant Protection - Oxidative damage breaks down the skin's lipid barrier and accelerates visible aging. This daily facial oil draws on naturally occurring plant compounds including carotenoids, tocopherols, and plant sterols to neutralize damage and protect barrier function.
  4. 4
    Mature Skin (anti-aging) - A daily facial oil that combines conjugated fatty acids, omega-7, and very-long-chain fatty acid oils with antioxidants and plant compounds to support collagen, protect against oxidative damage, and calm chronic inflammation. 
  5. 5
    Photo-protection - While no facial oil will act as a sunscreen, this combination of botanical oils bring tocopherols, carotenoids, and UV-supporting plant compounds to help support the skin before and after sun exposure to calm, restore and protect against damage.
  6. 6
    Hyperpigmentation - Whether from hormonal shifts, sun damage, or inflammation, this formula centers pracaxi oil, one of the most targeted botanical oils for hyperpigmentation. alongside supporting oils that address both pigmentation and the inflammation that drives it.

Slowing visible aging becomes a natural byproduct of supporting the skin’s own resilience, repair, and renewal

I'm Susan M Parker

And I want to welcome you into the fascinating world of facial oils, skin lipids, and botanical formulation. I have been studying herbalism, skincare formulation, and plant oils since the early 1990s when I completed my first herbal apprenticeship with Pam Montgomery.

From those early days working with herbs and infused oils to the publication of my book Power of the Seed: Your Guide to Oils for Health & Beauty, I have spent decades studying how botanical oils interact with the skin and why certain oils can dramatically change the health and appearance of the skin when they are properly understood and formulated.

In Restoring Skin Resilience, I'll share the formulation strategies I have developed through years of study and formulating work.

Whether you are a skincare formulator, esthetician, or simply someone who wants to formulate more effectively for aging skin, this course will give you an understanding of how the skin responds to botanical lipids to renew and repair itself.
