You will need to buy ingredients to complete the course. The course is easy to follow and contains illustrations & photos at every point to show you each step of the recipe. We are also available for email support throughout the 12 weeks (and after if you decide to continue making bath bombs & soaps). The download is in PDF format, so you do not need to print it out if you do not want to, you can just work from the screen.

At the end, you will be sent a link to your online assessment. It is based only on the course content and consists of multiple choice questions.

The regulations for the assessment of cosmetic products exist to protect the people who use the product (consumers). All bath bombs, soaps & scrubs fall into the category of cosmetics and under EU regulation, have to be assessed by a professional person, with qualifications in toxicology, before they can be sold.

This means that what you make during the course can be used by you or gifted to friends - but you can not sell any items.
