EDIBLE BEAUTY CERTIFICATE 

  Internationally accredited
  Self study online
  60 CPD / CE credit
  Personalised certificate + web Badge
  Lifetime access
  Perfect for natural skincare makers

You already know how to formulate beauty products for the outside. Now take your formulation skills inside.

💋 For natural skincare formulators and holistic beauty gurus
The Edible Beauty Certificate has been created specifically for skincare and botanical formulators who want to expand into nutritional cosmetics, ingestible beauty and “inner skincare".

You'll begin by learning the nutritional science of healthy skin giving you the foundation to understand how nutrients, phytochemicals and functional ingredients can influence skin structure, function and appearance from within.

Then you'll take that science into formulation.

Across three practical formulation modules, you'll learn how to develop functional beauty juices, botanical superfood blends and beauty chocolates using many of the same skills you already bring to cosmetic formulation: ingredient research, functional ingredient selection, formulation percentages, accurate weighing, batching, scaling and record keeping.

It's a natural extension of what you already do as a formulator only now, you're formulating beauty from the inside out.

 Professionally Accredited Education

This Edible Beauty Certificate program provides 60 CPD / CE credits and includes a personalised Certificate and digital badge following successful completion. SNI is accredited by professional organisations including the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), Complementary Medical Association (CMA) and the International Guild of Complementary Therapists (IGCT).

What our students say...

Audrina

This course is very in depth and helpful, I love how I'm able to work on it at my own pace, given how busy I am. This course has made me feel confident in using my knowledge to help others!

Samela

This course completely changed the way I look at food and skin health. Everything is broken down in such a clear and practical way— Now I’m actually thinking before I eat, asking myself what each food is doing for my body instead of just consuming on auto pilot.

Glenise

Amazing benefits of cacao, how it's commercialization destroys its value and benefits to our health. This crop was a major export commodity on my island so the course had distinct favor with me.
