Natural skincare - All the know-how, equipment and raw materials you need to make natural skincare, soap, spa and cosmetic products.

We use massage lotions and creams because you can add both water soluble and fat soluble raw materials to your products. You can only add fat soluble ingredients to a massage oil. Our special massage lotions and creams can incorporate 50 - 60% vegetable oils and fats together with other water soluble raw materials such as moisturisers, C-Vitamin, aloe vera etc. This is achieved by adding special emulsifiers which can hold large amounts of vegetable oils which can then act as a massage oil and a moisteurising lotion in one product.

This course is ideal for massage therapists, complimentary therapists including aromatherapists and beauticians who wish to enhance the therapeutic quality of their products as well as those who wish to make their own products for personal or commercial use.

The emphasis of this course is on developing an understanding of raw materials used in making advanced massage products, tailor-made for specific skin care conditions. This knowledge is then applied by making some different massage products, including:

"I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for last Friday's course at Whitwood College in Yorkshire, I had a fantastic time learning something new about a subject that I have been interested in for a while.

Hopefully through your work, you will help to create a paradigm shift in people's attitudes towards a healthier, less polluted planet. I look forward to meeting you again, in the meantime keep up the good work." John Whitworth more testimonials >>
