ESSENTIAL FORMULATION: Oil-Based Products and Aqueous Sprays

With Lise Andersen and Robert Tisserand

How many times have you poured a liquid balm into a container to set – its surface smooth as glass – only to find later that it’s gone grainy or is dotted with hard waxy nubs? Have you ever wondered how to write a proper formula or add 0.15% of antioxidant to a product? Should you be adding essential oils straight into your bath salts or facial mist? (Hard no.)

This insightful course is for anyone looking to formulate anhydrous moisturizers, aqueous mists, bath products, and masks. Whether you’re an aromatherapy practitioner striving to create professional bases for your therapeutic blends, or a cosmetic formulator aiming to make luxurious products, this eight-week online certification course is for you.

During seven fascinating lessons, expert cosmetic formulator Lise Andersen will share her passion, know-how and professional techniques for creating silken whips, balms, serums, mists and more. You’ll explore the pros and pitfalls of several plant oils, waxes and butters, and discover how and where to procure the right equipment and fresh, raw ingredients.

You’ll also take part in one module on Essential Oil Blending live with Robert Tisserand. Offered in week two, Robert will personally guide you in creating safe and beautifully scented therapeutic and cosmeceutical blends for adding to your formulations.

As well as gaining the proper methodology for custom formulating, you’ll get dozens of smart tested formulas, including essential oil blends designed by Robert. Stop relying on dubious DIY recipes that are potentially ineffective or unsafe, and confidently create your own sound formulations.

About the Tutor: Robert Tisserand

Robert Tisserand is an international speaker, educator and consultant on the science and benefits of essential oils and their safe and effective application. Instrumental in bringing widespread professional and public recognition to aromatherapy, he wrote one of the first books to bring awareness to aromatherapy in 1977: The Art of Aromatherapy.

Robert has 40 years of experience in essential oil blending and aromatherapy product development including creating “functional fragrances” for products that combine perfumery principles with the therapeutic, hygienic, and dermatological properties of essential oils. He is familiar with the foundations of oriental medicine, and Western herbal and naturopathic traditions, with their emphasis on cleansing, protecting, strengthening immune function and aiding natural healing processes.

Safety has been a passion of Robert’s for more than 30 years. When he first engaged with aromatherapy in the late 1960s there was virtually no awareness of safety issues, but for good reason – very little research had been carried out at that point. After safety research started to appear in the 1970s, Robert felt a responsibility to disseminate this information to the aromatherapy community and in 1985 self-published a small book: The Essential Oil Safety Data Manual.

In 1995, Robert co-authored Essential Oil Safety, a much more in-depth work. The vastly expanded second edition of this book was published in 2014, which took and Robert and his co-author Dr Rodney Young 12 years to write. During this period, they read and reviewed a massive amount of research. The book has sold over 12,000 copies to date.

Robert has become the definitive authority on essential oil safety – with 4000 research papers read and debated and his book being used by product formulators and aromatherapists all over the world. Robert has participated in several court cases as an expert witness, and he has consulted with some large corporations to help them assess the safety of their essential oil-based products. He developed the KidSafe line with Plant Therapy, following some quite rigorous safety demands. The vast majority of safety guidelines, whether presented by suppliers, aromatherapy schools or blogs, derive from Robert’s work.

This kind of functional information is very helpful and makes the journey into the fragrant world of essential oils coherent and easier to navigate. Thank you for all your efforts.

I want to thank you and Robert for all the effort that went into putting this invaluable webinar together.  For years, I have had inaccurate or incorrect information about essential oil safety, having relied on the information I found in aromatherapy reference books, various sites on the Internet and large essential oil companies.  I am so happy I finally have a greater depth of understanding about what I have discovered to be a quite complex subject. Apart from the content of the webinar, the logistics and online resources for the class were very well organized and easy to use.  I plan on taking additional classes in the future.

Dear Hana, Robert and Team,

I thoroughly enjoyed this course! I had many conflicts in my schedule but you and your team set everything up to be as easily accessed by computer as possible. Hearing the Q&A as well as the print outs was also a real bonus. I learned many new things I was unfamiliar with and those are the real value!!

Thanks and again and many blessings to you all.
