If you’ve ever felt that learning to make your own skincare or haircare products is only reserved for people in lab coats, this episode of Green Beauty Conversations is about to change everything.

In this special episode, Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier is joined by Formula Botanica’s in-house Cosmetic Scientist, Natalie Garwe, to tackle one of the most persistent myths in beauty – that you have to be a chemist to formulate.

They break down what you actually need to get started, why you don’t need permission or formal qualifications to begin, and how you can confidently take your first steps into cosmetic formulation.

If you’ve been dreaming of creating your own cosmetic products but felt held back by doubt, this episode is for you.
