As the world’s number one online formulation school with award-winning courses, it is particularly validating to see how far and wide Formula Botanica teaching is spreading. Before the advent of online learning, cosmetic chemistry was taught only in a small number of universities, mainly in the UK and US, which meant formulation training was not as widely accessible as it should be.
Formula Botanica has changed that in a big way. Its teaching now reaches over 19,000 students in over 190 countries.
In this opinion episode, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host
Lorraine Dallmeier sets out a vision for a better global cosmetics
industry; one that sees it entirely normal for local, indie beauty
entrepreneurs to create premium skincare brands to rival any of the
global big brands out there today. In fact, Formula Botanica
graduate founders are doing just that, as we heard in the
previous episode with self-made beauty entrepreneur Dewi
Kauw.
In doing so, they will be challenging the dominant, Eurocentric
perception of beauty which should no longer be valid, and certainly
needs to be changed.
