Having formulated, made and sold my own skincare products for many years I now concentrate on teaching others to do the same. I will teach you to make your own soap, skincare and perfume and for anyone wishing to start their own business I will guide you through every stage from formulating, making, being legal, branding and marketing and making a profit. I teach in the comfort of my own home in the amazing countryside of North Norfolk. I also offer one to one workshops for those who prefer it.
