Before studying with Formula Botanica, Amanda had already completed a diploma in aromatherapy. She would add essential oils to shop-bought skincare products and over time, she became more curious about the ingredients in the products she was buying. Some years later, she decided to learn how to formulate her own products, so she enrolled in the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation. Amanda loved learning about all the amazing skincare benefits that nature could provide, and she loved formulating. Formula Botanica gave her the inspiration and confidence to enable her to start Natural Zest, and Amanda says that with the knowledge she gained through her studies, she can now share beautiful natural skincare products with others.
