What Our Makers Are Saying
Michelle Satchell
Thank you Susan and Olivia for your constant new information on oils. Plants and oils, what a fascinating world. I’m looking forward to learning more and expanding my, so far limited, formulating fun.

Janics Cyre
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

Who we are...
We’re Susan & Olivia, the mother-daughter team behind the Lipid Oils Academy.
We created the Lab & Toolbox as part of our mission to make high-quality, anhydrous skincare education accessible and practical. This is where you’ll find the tools we use in our own studio—recipes, formulation methods, ingredient guides, and the searchable carrier oils and butters database.
It’s a hands-on resource space within the larger Academy, designed to support your making process, spark new ideas, and help you deepen your work with oils and herbs.
With warmth,
Susan & Olivia
