At Formula Botanica, the world’s leading online formulary school, we’re always thinking about how we can best support you on your journey to becoming a professional organic cosmetics maker.
We listened to our students’ feedback and realized that making a few important changes will help make your learning experience clearer and even more rewarding. We’re excited to share these updates with you and hope you feel as positive about them as we do.
Retirement Lessons: Simplifying Your Journey
First, we want to let you know that we will be withdrawing some of our courses. These are:
The Organic Anti-Aging Care Certificate
The Certificate in the Maintenance of Natural Cosmetics
The Certificate in Cosmetic Stability Test
We know that these courses have been loved by many, but we made this decision because we want to simplify the options for new students.
By pulling out these lessons, we can make sure everyone has a clear starting point on their formulation journey. This will help you focus on the essential knowledge you need to become a certified brewer without feeling overwhelmed by too many options.
So if you are considering enrolling on any of these courses, make sure you enroll before our next student intake window closes in January. After that, they will no longer be available.
Tuition increases: Continue to offer the best courses
Next, we need to talk about course fees. We have worked hard to keep our course prices affordable for as long as possible, but with rising costs, it is no longer possible to maintain tuition at the current level. In order to continue to offer you the best quality education, we need to make some changes.
The following degrees will see a fee increase after our January enrollment period:
Diploma in Organic Hair Care
Advanced Diploma in Biological Cosmetic Science
Diploma in Beauty Brand Business Management
We will announce the new fees later in 2025.
We’ve held our prices steady for many years, but now, as we improve the support and resources we offer, we need to adjust our fees to reflect the value and training you receive.
If you are considering one of these diplomas, now is the best time to sign up and lock in the current fee before the price increase happens.
We also want to let you know that fees for the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation will increase in 2026. This gives you plenty of time to enroll at the current rate, but if it’s a course you’ve been considering, we recommend you act soon to avoid the increase in fees on the line.

Why are we making these changes?
We know these changes may come as a surprise, but we want you to know that everything we do is to help you succeed on your composition journey. Here’s why we decided to make these adjustments:
Simplifying the choices for you
We’ve heard your feedback and realize that having too many courses can be overwhelming. By streamlining our offerings, we hope to make it easier for you to choose the right course for your needs and focus on what really matters: becoming a competent shaper.
Improving the support you receive
We are committed to providing you with the best resources, support and training. The increase in our fees will help us continue to improve the quality of our courses and ensure you get the best value for your investment.
Ensuring long-term success
These changes will help us build a more sustainable future for Formula Botanica. We want to continue to support students for many years to come, and this will ensure that we can do so while providing you with a top quality learning experience.
