Question:
I hope all the people who have PM'd me in the past will forgive me - I just found their messages!! Some of them go back to October 04!! Don't know how I missed them but there you go. Thanks you guys.
I am on the scrounge again and know that you all will do your utmost to help - you are so helpful and I am so glad that I found HP.
I am just about finished my aromatherapy qualification and recently attended a holistic facial course (already do massage, reiki and reflexology). I am hooked on holistic facials and want to make my own products for each individual client. Do I have to do a separate course or can I research it myselt - aromantics do some great looking literature. I can't face the thought of spending another £300 pounds or so. Please let me know what you all think.
If I have to do a course, can anyone recommend a company who do base products, to which i could add essential oils (cleanser, toner, mask, moisteriser.) I had a lovely time yesterday making up a strawberry and sour cream mask but had to use prepared cleansers.
Looking forward to your replies and, as always, your assistance and advice - I'd be lost without you!

Hi Pauline,
I'm afraid I can't answer your question about whether or not you have to do a separate course to be able to make products for your clients, but I can provide you details of a web page for a company that produces "base" products that you can add essential oils to.
They are based in Edinburgh and Glasgow but they also post orders outside of these areas. Their name is Iso Active and here is their web address http://www.isoactive.com/
I have bought a few essential oils and vitamins from them and their shop in Edinburgh is excellent.
Hope that you find their website helpful ;)

Hi
I've used a com,pany called Base Formula and the base creams are really nice and they delivered next day.

I recently went on a one-day course run by Aromantics and it was fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend it. The course fee was £45, which I thought was really quite expensive, but I learned lots and we came away with what we'd made including two pots each of face/hand cream (the best I have ever used), two bottle shampoo (again the best I've used), 5 lipsalves (in the proper dispensers) and two pots of gels. Aromantics sell starter packs with all the ingredients weighed/measured out for whatever you will make, eg shampoo, bath bombs, creams etc.
I honestly don't have shares in Aromantics!;) I did think it was a fantastic course and prices for raw materials was very good. I have bought base products in the past, but now that I've made my own I can see that they are inferior to what I could make myself.
Cheers
