You can start with us and grow with us. There is everything you need in this course. Through my many trials and errors, you now don't have to go through these, you can take advantage of my life's work and success in cosmetic formulation. I share it all with you including my best, tried and tested formulations. We've tested equipment for you to fit into your budget. It's good quality and performs the job at an affordable cost. The ingredients in the formulations are available in small purchase amounts. I've walked my talk in my 20+ years as a green cosmetic formulator. I am transparent, authentic, and an innate teacher with an enormous supply of patience and passion to help you to learn cosmetic formulation. To make and be successful with your own brand of skincare products. I know how overwhelming it can be starting out. You are meant to do this, you must take the leap, do the work, and be it. No one will do it for you. You must believe in yourself. We are here for you, to guide and mentor you through all of it."
How I Define Natural Cosmetics, Natural Skincare Products
“Natural cosmetics are made from raw materials sourced from nature, renewable plant feedstocks, plants, and minerals. The raw materials go through the least amount of processing and processing methods. Using green chemistry and the latest sustainable, energy efficient technology, including, biotechnology and bio-based ingredients. The processing method causes the least impact to humans, animals, and the earth, with no or low carbon footprint. Active nutrients known as nutraceuticals are used; supplements, such as beneficial vitamins for the skin and hair. Natural cosmetics are green, renewable, sustainable clean beauty that promote nourished and radiant skin and hair.”

It is so helpful that I can go back and retake any modules for the rest of my life, because there’s recipes galore! And, also that she is updating and refining and adding more things in later that I can access for new content. The Formulator’s Lab seems like a great follow up to this course, and continues the journey. Joan is the best kind of teacher to learn from; she knows her work, she is kind, thoughtful, professional and wants her students to succeed. I appreciate her creative heart. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to formulate or put their products out there with safety, documentation, and knowledgeableness with a wonderful guide and a plethora of resources to access.

I highly recommend this course.

Would definitely recommend!
Joan and her team were so helpful during the course and provided us with so much knowledge. Their mission is truly to help and teach us, to respect nature and work with it, not against it, and doing it great! The first two weeks seem overwhelming (if you are a beginner like me), but as you go and Joan provides you with explanations, it is much easier, don’t think about how it is tough, you’ll be good I promise.
Alicia Rainville (verified owner) –
I am very happy with the skin care course. I’m new to the formulation world and at first I thought I was in over my head. However, Joan made me feel reassured and was very encouraging along the way. The class is organized wonderfully and the weekly Zoom meetings were a great help. Now I feel very confident and knowledgable. I’m looking forward to trying my hand at some of the amazing preparations Joan taught us. My only complaint is that I cannot decide which amazing formula to try first (haha!).
Joann Mitchell (verified owner) –
I’m so happy that I chose to take Joan’s course! I had it narrowed down to 3 courses to choose from and I feel I made the perfect choice. She shared so much information and I now feel very confident in making my own products! My biggest worry was how to add preservatives correctly, but Joan covered all of that information in detail. I’m also hoping to take the hair course soon. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom, Joan!

I am so happy that I found this school! I can’t imagine another that could compare. In taking the Pro Natural Hair Care class, I have learned so much about natural/sustainable ingredients and continue to gain confidence in formulating. My family and friends have been so happy with what I have been able to formulate. My hair thanks me every day. :). There is so much information provided and it is thoroughly covered in all the videos and live Q&A’s. Joan is also a wonderful instructor. Her caring and passion for the subject as well as her students, comes through in tenfold. All questions asked are answered and if she doesn’t know, she finds out.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about plant-sourced cosmetic ingredients and formulation. Joan is kind, gentle, warm and patient. Her knowledge is encyclopedia-cal and her passion for formulation comes through in every interaction. I cannot thank her enough for this wonderfully structured course. Look no further.

I could not fault this course. It was so well structured. I have NOT had a single formulation failure with Joan’s methods and have learnt so much. I have the confidence to alter base formulations to personalise them or to reinvent them for a specific need. I loved everything about this course. Informative, factual, excellent resources and sound practical tips and tricks!

I would just like to say how amazing this course is – it is packed full of the most incredibly useful information, not to mention the formulations! Everything is clear and concise, and with videos for every single thing you can imagine.
Joan is such a lovely person – her kindness and expertise radiate in every interaction. Michelle is also so lovely – I can’t speak highly enough of all that I have learnt already, and look forward to having this course by my side forever!

I completed the Natural Hair Care and Professional Skin Care Courses in 2016. Joan teaches in a way that is engaging, very easy to follow, and encouraging.
These courses have changed my life. Today, I am a highly skilled cosmetic formulator and successful beauty business owner. I could have never come this far without taking the Joan Morais Courses. She is the best!

I took this course when we were working to formulate what is now our best selling moisturizer and I learned so much! So much value in this course and Joan is AMAZING!

Skin care course was the first one I took with Joan. Great and comprehensive course by a professional trainer. Joan does such an amazing job and explains steps clearly. Further, she provides the resources needed to start formulating. Being able to make natural products for my family and friends has been awesome. I highly recommend this course . Thank you Joan!

I would not be where I am today without Joan’s courses and private 1:1 consulting. By formulating my own skincare collection I saved thousands of dollars that would have gone to a lab to do the R&D and I may not own the formula in the end. The foundation I got from this course allowed me to feel confident working with different ingredients. Once you know the building blocks of a serum or moisturizer, you have the tools to literally create award winning formulas. Joan is humble and kind and such a wealth of knowledge. Sing up for this course, you will not be disappointed.

I am so happy I decided to take Joan’s skin course before starting my skincare line. Joan was very helpful and informative. I really enjoyed the live classes and loved that I could ask Joan questions outside of the live classes. Being new to formulating and learning about ingredients and the process of formulating can be very overwhelming, so I am happy that I have access to the material for life.

Joan Morais is an amazing instructor. I started my business during the beginning of covid and I just wanted proper training to run a business and to learn more about natural skin care formulations. This is the best decision I have made for myself and brand. She gives you all the tools to make an effective formulation, but she provides you information about tools, equipments and other amazing essential oils to use to make consistent and effective products. Furthermore she introduces to other essential oils that I never heard before joining this class. In addition she teaches you good manufacturing practices. I encourage everyone to join her class. I am looking forward to joining her monthly subscription class soon.

I am so grateful to have taken Joan’s course. Joan exudes knowledge, years of experience and a genuine willingness to share her experience so you can better equip yourself in your beauty product creation endeavors. Her course material and online method of teaching is full of so much useful information. I love that I can go back to review the material and there is no time limit to access the material. After taking the course I know I will be able to create amazing products and I also feel confident I can further supplement my knowledge with Joan’s formulator’s membership program. Thank you Joan for creating such a wonderful platform to share your knowledge and bring together a community of likeminded individuals. I believe we are all looking to impact people and the world one healthy beauty product at a time. XoXo. Mel

Joan is so systematic with the way she does things and her advice and tips are so relevant and useful. The notes are so comprehensive and she has put so much thought into it for her students that she would even put the supplier list next to each ingredient! There is also a life time access to the course so I can go back to the notes, videos etc anytime without having to worry about losing access after finishing the course. I also find her very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. I also love the fact that it’s a plant based course!!

I’m in the process of taking Joan’s course and it’s been informative thus far. She gives feedback when needed and breaks things down.

Joan is very helpful and informative. I really enjoyed the LIVE classes, and I am thankful that my questions were answered. When I first started the class it seemed overwhelming, but about after Module 2 my questions got answered and my understanding became clear. I really, truly really :), enjoyed every bit of learning and growing. Joan is also very encouraging. It was worth the time and hard work in completing this course. I will, definitely, have another review in the near future as my business continues to progress.

Just wrapping up the Professional Natural Skin Care course and it was wonderful! There is so much to learn and the information is easy to follow. Joan is a wonderful teacher who cares about her students and our ability to excel and be successful. Her knowledge, experience and guided lessons are a gift. One of my favorite things about this class was sitting on a live q&a and watching Joan put a formulation together. It was so helpful. I am looking forward to continuing on my formulation journey. Thank you Joan!

Very detailed course
This course was very detailed and informative. There is so much information that I went through this entire course 4 times. Each time I did I picked up more valuable info. Joan is a very caring person, evident in the amount of material and the way she presents this course. The mentored session let’s you ask anything you need to know to be a success. I highly recommend this course to anyone serious about creating there own skin care line. I give it an A+

The Professional Natural Skin Care Making Course was definitely worth the investment. I was introduced to so many new raw ingredients, formulas and ideas. I look forward to incorporating all of this knowledge into my product line. Thank you!!
Denise Shattuck (verified owner) –
The Natural Skin Care Course by Joan Morais more than exceeded my expectations of how to formulate natural and organic products for the skin. She provides an abundance of information, and explains each step concisely. I have much to learn, and have gleaned much from her wealth of knowledge in this area. I am excited to jump in and start creating my own products and hopefully someday launch my own skin care line. A million thanks! ~Denise

I have enjoyed this course offered by Joan Morais immensely. Its quite thorough and informative. I love the fact that I can work at my own pace and will have lifetime access to this course. Joan has done a good job by covering everything that I would need to start my business.
I will continue experimenting on making these products as I embark on launching my cosmetic on-line store.
Joans DIY Soap recipes, I absolutely love and hoping to take her Hair Care course in the future.
Thank you Joan and God bless you.

If you are searching for a great course to make your own natural formulation then this is the place for you. I love the fact that Joan is knowledgable about more than just natural cosmetic formulation, she is also an aromatherapist, an herbalist, all-natural-things-lover with holistic and various of experiences/certifications under her belt, so when she is teaching she uses her own interpretation to add extra "sparkle" from her personal experience to the mix.
Joan was always available to answer question, she cares and want success for her students. She empowers and really teaches from the heart.
You can tell this course was made with love as she is super passionate about what she does and it could be seen from the way she teaches and makes herself available to all her students.
I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have received and I will definitely take more of Joan’s courses in the future.

I had been searching for a comprehensive skin care course, and all of the others did not impress me. When I discovered Joan’s course, it had everything I was looking for and then some. Her background and experience as an aromatherapist, herbalist, and formulator was exactly that of a mentor with whom I wanted to study.
The course material is very well structured and organized, the accompanying module videos help clarify each procedure in the process, and we are encouraged to customize the formulations to make them our own. As someone with a scientific background, I appreciate and admire Joan’s precision and attention to detail.
Joan answers every question without reservation. I have had instructors of introductory courses who limit the information they tell you. It seems they don’t want to reveal all of their “secrets.” Joan is very generous and an open book. She is willing to share everything she has learned and experienced over her many years of formulating. I can’t thank her enough for answering my myriad of specific questions. She is very patient, kind, and caring—a gem in her own right.
Thank you, Joan! Your passion, commitment, and dedication are apparent and truly an inspiration. I feel very blessed to have connected with you, and am very grateful for everything you have taught us and for sharing your joy with us.

This is one of the best courses I’ve taken in skincare. First because it’s simple to understand and there are so many recipes to experiment with and learn about the choices one has in making Natural skincare products . The one on one time with Joan was invaluable . Ashe so much to share , this course is truely just touching the surface of what’s to know . I really look forward to practicing what I’ve learned and I actually know now I can go back to more complicated courses I enrolled in and understand them better because of the foundation Joan has set for me .

Joan is an exceptional teacher who is constantly making her formulas even better. She explains in detail the reasons she uses certain ingredients, shows how they work, why they work in a formula and how to make the formula your own.
I have taken all of Joan’s courses and value every one because I was at different points in the learning curve and as I grew her courses met my needs. I am really happy I have the chance to go back and review the videos because it is Joan I learn from, not a manual. She has so much knowledge that she shares as the video is playing.
I would love to have another chance to learn from Joan and if I am fortunate to I will. Joan inspired me to begin my own business and although it is hard work I want to share how important it is to use healthy ingredients each and every day.
Thank you Joan for keeping my passion thriving! I hope we can meet for that cup of coffee or tea.
Maybe we will just have to agree to meet somewhere!
Live, Love, Laugh

Joan Morais is a master teacher. Given my great enthusiasm in this subject, I was looking everywhere for the right guidance. Joan is the perfect blend of knowledge and practical instruction. Most importantly, she is Incredibly generous and giving of her time with her students.
As an esthetician for 20 years, I never thought it possible to create my own product line. Then I started working with a formulator and realized I was completely limited in my input. I didn’t own the recipes (formulas) and didn’t have the creative or intellectual license to make them my own. This was disempowering and I wanted a way to address this barrier.
I am so grateful I found Joan. Her course provides all the resources that go into making an amazing skincare line. She provides everything you need to make your passion a reality. The world of resources and ethical ingredients are now at my fingertips. There are no words to describe my excitement and immense gratitude for Joan.
Thank you Joan. My search is over!

I stumbled upon Joan’s video on youtube while searching for the right mentor for me. After watching one of her videos and listening to her, I immediately knew that my search had ended. Joan came across to me as caring and one who has a passion for what she does. I came to learn that that’s exactly the kind of mentor she truly is. I was very impressed by how generous she is with sharing her knowledge. Her follow ups during the entire course, making sure that I’m not left behind, is an indication of how much she cares about her students. I am so grateful for the wealth of information that she provided me with during and after the Skin Care Course, which I have just completed. Joan, your time and effort that you have invested , in order to enrich my life and the lives of many others like me are highly appreciated. I would recommend this course to anyone who is trying to figure out where to start or which direction to take. After the end of this course, I feel empowered, confident and above all, I feel inspired to share my God-given gifts with the world. Joan, I wish you abundance in all areas of your life and a long happy and joyful life, so you can touch more lives with your gifts. Nyambura

I have taken the Hair Care Course and was highly impressed with the in-depth and well organized training. I knew that I wanted to develop a full line of products, so I invested in the Natural Skin Care Course as well. Again, highly impressed. There is so much to learn, but it is easily presented in a way that is non-intimidating and fun. Joan is an excellent instructor and I could not be more thankful for this course. I have been wanting to do this for nearly 20 years, but did not know where to go. I am thankful to have found such an amazing resource. It has already enhanced my life in the most positive ways! Thank you Joan. You are truly the best! XO
Eliza Desmarais –
I just finished the Professional Natural Skin Care course, and it was fantastic! I learned so much! It was very informative, and I really appreciated being able to watch all the steps from beginning to end of each formulation. What also helped a tremendous amount was Joan’s dedication to detail, and stressing the importance of record keeping, as well as exactly what records need to be kept. At some point Canada and the US will most likely become regulated in the cosmetic industry, and it was a big help to be guided towards running a business in a way as if these countries were already regulated. When that time comes, I feel that I have the tools to be prepared instead of scrambling at the last minute. Thank you Joan! Great course!

I have enrolled for the 8 weeks guided courses . I am from London and we do have a few courses in UK, so was not to sure if I was not better off doing a course in the UK.
But it was the best thing I have done . I thoroughly enjoyed the course with a great and the kindest teacher I ever had ( Joan Morais ). The course was well structured and flowing (apologies about my English , I am French living in the UK), clear and to the point . I have enjoyed the Q& A seminars which were really helpful . Joan has been very accessible when needed . I am now more confident in making my own skin care products .
I can’t thank Joan enough for her great teaching and kindness.
