Deerieo is a boutique, premium, natural skincare brand based in Edinburgh. Inspired by Scotland’s nature and medicinal plants, founder Karolina Bajbuz creates high-performance cosmetic products that combine luxurious botanicals with scientifically-verified active ingredients to gently deliver visible results. Deerieo products are handmade in small batches, vegan-friendly, palm oil free, cruelty free and sustainable.

Formula Botanica courses were fundamental in helping shape Karolina’s career as a natural skincare professional. She not only learned about skin health and how to create a vast range of high-performance products, but also about the value of business and marketing to a beauty entrepreneur. She says that the Formula Botanica student community and tutors were very supportive, and helped her overcome challenges and stay motivated as they shared their real-life experiences. “Formula Botanica is the best place to start and grow if you’re passionate about natural beauty,” says Karolina.
