Restoring Skin Resilience

A lipid-based approach to anti-aging and skin barrier repair

Click Here

As we age, our skin naturally produces fewer of the lipids that support barrier function, hydration, and resilience. This often shows up as dryness, thinning skin, fine lines, and increased sensitivity.


In this course, you’ll explore a deeply informed, lipid-based approach to caring for skin as it ages.


You’ll learn about the best oils and butters to help restore the skin’s natural resilience without disrupting its own repair functions.


Grounded in botanical skincare and lipid science, this course explores:

  • What causes the visible signs of aging skin (from a barrier-first perspective)
  • How the skin naturally repairs and renews itself
  • Which oils and butters best support aging skin
  • The role of ceramides, fatty acids, and antioxidants in barrier repair
  • How to support skin’s natural resilience and long-term health

Whether you’re creating for yourself, your clients, or your shop, this course will help you choose and combine oils that support aging skin.

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 to use oils to seal it in—supporting repair without disrupting skin integrity.
  • 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 complement these natural processes.

“Susan's programs have helped me use carrier oils as part of the synergy of essential oils to give a quality product. I am a certified aromatherapist and this program has helped me to synergize the essential oil world with the lipid world for a full spectrum of knowledge of the products that I produced”

I’ve spent decades studying and working with carrier oils, and I’ve seen firsthand how these remarkable oils can transform both skincare and wellness products.

My passion for carrier oils comes from deep, hands-on experience understanding how different oils perform, how they feel on the skin, and how they contribute to the effectiveness of a formula.
