Meet Your Instructor Joan Morais

Hello From Joan

"You will do well in this course and become the best cosmetic formulator! You are the modern formulator. This course was developed for beginners to intermediate. 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.”

FAQ's

How do I receive the diploma?

You must take and complete all the lessons in the course and pass the final. After these requirements are met, you will receive your diploma certificate online. You can print and frame this huge mile-stone and accomplishment.

When I receive access to the course?

You will receive access to the course and course training materials immediately after full payment is made.

Will I be able to start my own hair or skin care line after completion of the course?

Yes, you will learn everything needed to know to make and formulate skin or hair care products. Our students go on to create successful skin and hair care lines.

What is the Self-Study Course and the Mentored Session? What is the difference?

1. The online course: formulas, course material, videos, and manuals are the same. The course can be accessed at any time.

2. You will receive the same Diploma once the course requirements are met (course modules and lessons are completed, course quizzes are completed, and the final exam is passed).

3. The 8-week Mentored Session is once a year. During these 8 weeks, you will receive course emails that will guide you through the course, give instructions, tips, and assignments. It is up to each student to follow the guide or not. You will also be mentored by Joan Morais. This means you will get the opportunity to participate in Live Q+A Sessions through the 8 week session. During the Live Q+A, you can get your questions answered. You can also ask questions inside the course. 

4. If you enroll in the Self-study, you can start the course early. Some students wish to start now versus waiting for the next mentored session. A benefit of starting early will provide more time to prepare questions to get the most out of the Live Q+A Sessions with Joan Morais.

How long is the course?

The Mentored sessions are 8 weeks long. You will receive Lifetime Course Access, a benefit of taking our course so you can complete the course at any time.

What skill level is required? Can I start as a beginner?

Yes, you can start as a beginner with no prior knowledge. The Diploma Certification Courses teach in-depth on how to make and formulate products. Our students range from beginner, intermediate and advanced. Many students want to start a natural hair and skin care line and many students have a line they want to improve the products, add new products or take over the control of the manufacturing.

Will I be able to make safe products for the market?

The course contains information, instructions, and guidance for making safe, stable and effective products for the market including pre-market testing. Implementing GMP and pre-market testing allows you to produce safe, stable and effective products.

Are there set times I need to participate in the Course? Is there a schedule?

Each week, you will receive an email which will guide you through the mentored course. If you want to complete the course in 8 weeks, it is best to go by the course schedule and review the modules on the schedule. Each student has control over when and how they want to take the course. You can work ahead, or take longer to complete. You will have Lifetime Course Access to the course. The 7 Live Q+A Sessions are scheduled and recorded. If you cannot make a Live Q+A Session and have questions, you can send these in through email prior. Joan will address these questions on the call and you can listen to the recording afterwards. A one-on-one consultation with Joan is available to purchase with the course. She offers this option to Pro Course students only.

I live in another country, how can I find resources and raw materials?

The course provides many resources in other countries. We have students take our courses from all over the world. We select ingredients that are usually easily sourced. You can also research raw material and cosmetic ingredient suppliers in your area and check other countries to see who will ship to you. The course mentor, Joan Morais, will work closely with her students and can provide you with substitutions if needed.

Will I receive course materials?

The course materials includes formulas and procedures that are available as downloads in your course account. 

Will I learn to formulate?

Yes, you will learn to formulate and make natural formulations. The course lessons are in-depth for training in formulating and making natural hair and skin care products.

Do you use preservatives in water-based formulations?

Yes, preservatives are crucial in water-based formulations. A formulation containing water with no preservative is like yogurt, unrefrigerated, and hoping it won’t become contaminated with bacteria, yeast and mold. The yogurt will be unsafe to consume. Formulations are expected to be safe and unadulterated for consumers. The preservatives used in the formulations are approved by Ecocert, COSMOS. We also use natural preservatives from renewable sources such as plants and educate on these preservatives and using these preservatives in formulation. 

What ingredients are used in your formulations?

The formulations use high quality raw materials/ ingredients that have been selected carefully that are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The ingredients include plant-based, green, clean, organic, renewable, bio-based, biodegradable and sustainable. Most of the main ingredients in the formulations can be sourced from many countries with cosmetic ingredient suppliers. We do not have a listing of the ingredients as there are options for the student depending on the country they are sourcing the ingredients.

What equipment do I need?

The Equipment Lesson has 4 Levels:

  • Level 1: Kitchen Equipment — For those starting out and small production
  • Level 2: Lab Equipment — For formulating and small production
  • Level 3: Medium Batch Production — For batch sizes around 42 pounds, 5 gallons. 19 liters
  • Level 4: Manufacturing Lab Equipment — Expensive lab equipment and manufacturing equipment for large batch production

We leave it up to each student to decide on what equipment to purchase and on what scale they want to start making products. Common kitchen equipment can be used or lab equipment. We recommend you learn the material in the course before purchasing equipment. You will learn about many equipment options and resources in the course.
