Here’s the easy way to start making high-quality skincare at home—without tons of ingredients or expensive equipment!
(Even if you’re a complete beginner)
I don’t have enough compliments to describe how great Marie’s beginners course is. Not only will you learn to create some beautiful products, you will also learn to think about how and why you choose certain ingredients, and what steps to take. In other words: Marie teaches you to think about formulating natural cosmetics, and before you know it, you are formulating yourself.

Does this sound like you?
You want to start making your own skincare, but you’re overwhelmed by all the ingredients and equipment.
You’ve followed some recipes for lip balms and body butters, but you have no idea what to do if they come out too soft, too hard, or too greasy.
You’re worried about wasting ingredients (and money) on DIYs that don’t work (or worse—are unsafe).
Your body butters turn grainy and you’re not sure why or how to fix it.
You’re frustrated and confused by tons of conflicting DIYing “rules”.
I get it!
I wasted so much money on DIY skincare… until I learned what actually matters.
When I first started making, I did a great big belly flop into the deep, wonderful ocean of DIY skincare.
I blew tons of money, made the world’s greasiest (and grainy-est) body butter, wasted all my ingredients on a massive batch of lip balm that reeked of wet sheep (thanks, lanolin), and generally got a bunch of that DIY-ing ocean water up my nose.
Because I didn’t truly understand what I was doing, I was trapped in a loop of confusion and sub-par results that wasted money, ingredients, and SO MUCH time.
It took years, but I’ve come a long way since those early days.
I learned that most of the ingredients I bought were completely unnecessary, while missing some really important ones for years (d’oh!).
I figured out how to stop making expensive—and dangerous—mistakes.
I realized that things that felt like fussy time wasters were actually insanely important, and by ignoring them I was seriously holding myself back.
And now I want to share all that knowledge with you so you can skip the frustrating “what am I doing / why didn’t that work / what went wrong???” phase and get straight to the good stuff!
That’s why I created the DIY Skincare for Beginners mini-course.
This course is absolutely amazing.
This course is absolutely amazing. The steps are simply broken down which means that it is easy to follow the instructions. Marie has put together beautiful skincare recipes which my daughters loved using.
I would definitely recommend this awesome course if you are new to formulating.

I think I am hooked.
I’ve learned so much from your teaching approach. The project recipes were basic but you made it so interesting to replicate with the help of your fascinating anecdotes with each formulation.
I think I am hooked. Thanks to you Marie.

I give this course a 10/10.
The course went at such a perfect pace! I loved reading and seeing what happens when the same ingredients are used in many different ways. After doing this course I now fully understand exactly why formulas will fail if not done properly but now I know how to fix it! I loved seeing how many things you can make with simple and easy-to-find ingredients. I needed the basics of how and why percentages are important and this gave the best explanation for a beginner.
I give this course a 10/10. I wish it had been around when I was a beginner – so many failures in my past would have been avoided. Some things I already did but now I know why I do them that way even better.

By far the best beginners course I have ever seen!

The projects that Marie has selected are of excellent quality and very easy to realize. You don’t have to buy tons of materials to make some fantastic products. I’d say, what are you waiting for?

You can't go wrong with this course.
This was an absolutely fantastic course. Marie walks you through the classes step by step and answers alot of questions about problems that you may run into. I loved the videos. It’s as if you are there in class and she’s making them with you. The information Marie has provided is detailed enough for beginners and has helpful links for more in depth information. Marie has out done herself. You can’t go wrong with this course. I had so much fun doing this! Thank you Marie for all your hard work ❣️
Absolutely Fantastic!!
