If your skin feels drier, thinner, more sensitive or reactive than it once did, you're not imagining it.
As we age, changes in hydration, barrier function and inflammation can affect not only how skin looks and feels, but how resilient it is.
Most anti-aging advice focuses on correcting the visible signs of aging, yet healthy skin depends on much more than what we see in the mirror.
The skin is constantly working to protect itself, maintain hydration, recover from daily stress and renew itself over time.
In Restoring Skin Resilience, you'll learn how plant oils and botanical lipids can support those natural processes and why they play such an important role in anti-aging skincare.
You'll also learn how to select and formulate with oils that work with the skin's natural functions to support healthier, more resilient skin.
Slowing visible aging becomes a natural byproduct of supporting the skin’s own resilience, repair, and renewal
With the right combination of plant oils and botanical lipids you can slow moisture loss, support collagen production, reduce chronic inflammation and restore a healthy skin barrier.
The skin already knows how to repair itself, the key is to do less of the things that harm and disrupt the skin barrier so that you're working with the skin not against it.
When the skin is healthy and resilient, it looks healthier too and that is the foundation of effective anti-aging skincare.

Lessons in Formulating Face & Body Oils
Turn theory into practice with lessons in formulating face and body oils for mature skin, barrier repair, hydration, chronic inflammation antioxidant protection and hyperpigmentation.
1. Hydration
This formula brings together very-long chain fatty acid oils and omega-7 to slow Transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
2. Chronic 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
These six targeted formulas give you a template to work from so that you can create your own all-in-one custom facial oil or make individual formulas to address specific skin conditions.
I'm Susan M Parker
And I want to welcome you to the wonderful world of herbs and plant oils. I have been studying herbalism, skincare formulation and the lipid plant oils since the early 1990's.
From those early days in the herbal world to the publication of my book Power of the Seed: Your Guide to Oils for Beauty & Health I have been deep in the study of how these plant compounds found in both herbal infusions and lipid plant oils affect the skin. And over and over again I see people whose lifelong skin struggles resolve with the right plant oils.
In Restoring Skin Resilience I'm going to make sure you have the right plant oils for your skin.
Whether you are a skincare formulator, esthetician, or simply someone who wants to care for their skin with the right oils and lipids, this course will give you the science, formulation strategies and ideas for your skincare formulas.
Included: The Skin Resilience Handbook
A practical quick-reference guide designed to help you confidently choose and combine oils for hydration, barrier support, inflammation management, and healthy, resilient skin.
Inside you'll find oil recommendations, six complete facial oil formulas, and the fatty acids and lipid compounds that play the most important roles in skin barrier function, moisture retention, and long-term skin health.
