Cosmetic formulating is not only putting the right ingredients together. It is also about knowing the basics of their chemistry, mechanisms of action and cosmetically active concentrations. You’ll find all this and even more in the Modern Cosmetics book, written by scientists.

It is official! I have achieved my main goal of 2022! I completed the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation! I have gained invaluable skills to become an organic skincare formulator! It’s all became possible thanks to the leading online school for organic formulation and and its supportive community of tutors and students!❤️
Looking forward to 2023, in which I’m planning to augment my skills! Cheers to more experiments and new discoveries! 🥂🎉❤️

Another important ingredient that I used in my emulsion for the final project was: Chia Seed Oil derived from natural sources. It is useful in care of dry, sensitive, irritated and inflamed skin. It is supposed to have anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. This oil improves the regeneration of damaged skin and restores the impaired function of the lipid barrier.

One of the key ingredients that I used in my emulsion for the final project (see my previous post from September 29th) was: TREMELLA extract -100% natural. Tremella, sometimes known as 'Snow Mushroom', has strong water-binding capacities. It boosts skin hydration, comparable to Hyaluronic Acid. It easily penetrates the skin layer’s, forming a protective film of moisture that transforms the look and feel of dryness and roughness. Also, it is rich in Vitamin D, which helps soothe skin inflammation.

My best emulsion so far: a day and/or night facial moisturizer, designed for dry, irritated skin affected by harsh climates such as in Canada. The key ingredients of this moisturizer are: Chia Seed Oil, Aloe Butter, Tremella extract and Goldenseal extract.
This product (an oil-in-water emulsion) was created for my final project for Formula Botanica an accredited, 100% online, award-winning natural formulation school based out of the United Kingdom. And resulted in successful completion of the program: Diploma in Organic Scincare Formulation! 🎉🎉🎉

One of my favourite sunscreens this summer: Clinique mineral sunscreen fluid for face SPF50. It’s ultra-lightweight, virtually invisible 100% mineral sunscreen. Oil-free. Gentle enough to use around the eye area. Safe to use on children ages 6 months and up. Dermatologist and pediatrician tested.

We all love summer and it is natural to want to get out and enjoy the sun’s glorious rays. But as much as we love the look of sun-kissed skin, it’s also important to protect your skin to keep it looking healthy and youthful!
Please take into consideration the following skin care tips and you will be well on your way to enjoying all fat summer has to offer:
🌞Make sun protection a part of your daily routine. It’s one of the best long-term investments you’ll ever make. UVA rays are strong year-round and UVB rays are more strong during spring and summer. Wear a sunscreen* on your face and hands year-round. Preferably with an SPF 15 or higher.
🌞Remember another important step in keeping your skin in good shape: exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin helps produce a smooth surface for applying sunscreen and keeps your skin looking evenly tanned.
🌞Follow your shower or bath with an application of a moisturizer, especially after you exfoliate. Use moisturizers specifically designed for your body, as they tend to have reacher emollients.
🌞Finally, if you want to have that summer glow without damaging your skin, use the sunless tanner which can provide beautiful results. I recommend applying a sunless tanner one to three times a week, but this can vary from person to person. If you reapply it too often, for example every day, the tan may look unnatural.
🌞Enjoy your summer!

The following are my favourite sunscreen products (for body and/or face) that I’d like to recommend (available at across Canada):
🌞 Unthelios invisible fluid SPF 50+ from La Roche Posay
🌞 Aquagel Defense Primer and Moisturizer with SPF 50 from Lancôme
🌞 100% Mineral Vanishing Tint SPF30 from StriVectin
🌞 Mineral Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50+ from Clinique

I haven’t been posting here for a while…But, I keep experimenting and have been making my own products for myself and friends. My photo features a rich but not tacky nor sticky anti-aging cream with lots of goodies in it such as Evening Primrose oil, Rice Bran oils, Centella Asiatica extract, Coenzyme Q10, Resveratrol, and only a dash of Orange Sweet EO, as it already has a nice natural aroma from Neroli Hydrosol among other ingredients. This cream has been a saver in our extremely cold and dry Canadian prairie winter! And Spring is on the horizon with renewed inspiration for more product creations!🌸🙌
