Formula Botanica modules and the overall course design are positioned to help students succeed both in formulating and going to market. The very fact that I am a Formula Botanica graduate seems to have had a positive effect on people’s perception of my brand. I noticed this immediately after graduating and launching Veduxe into the indie beauty market”, founder Dola says. Being a Formula Botanica graduate has boosted Dola’s brand and been a total plus for her business. She has had feedback from customers who specifically say to her that they trust her brand because they saw on Instagram that she was a Formula Botanica graduate. “I am glad I took the plunge!” Dola says.
