DIY Skincare Essentials
Learn how to make serums, creams and balms using active ingredients in the highest concentrations and strategic pairings ~ to get REAL results. It's all inside the Serum Maker DIY Skincare Essentials Course.
Big beauty brands rely on watered-down actives and clever marketing to keep you buying again and again. But in the Essentials course, you'll learn how to:
Create creams and serums that rival $182 retail products for under $5
Use ACTIVE ingredients that actually send signals that cause a change
Understand the why behind every ingredient that touches your skin
This is the foundation course where everything “clicks.” Once you take it, you’ll never look at a skincare label the same way again.
The Problem
Most people give up on making their own skincare because:
-
Recipes online are either vague Pinterest hacks or overly scientific formulas that feel impossible to follow.
-
Ingredients sound intimidating — and without guidance, it’s hard to know what’s safe, effective, or even worth buying.
-
Retail skincare is no better: packed with fillers, inflated price tags, and actives at levels too low to work.
The result? You’re stuck between overpriced jars on a shelf or DIY attempts that don’t deliver — and your skin never sees real change.

Recipes Repeat Many of the Same Ingredients
When you look at a skincare recipe, it’s easy to assume it’ll be expensive to make, but here’s the real secret: most ingredients are reusable across multiple products, and many formulas use the same core ingredients again and again. So while the initial ingredient set may seem like a lot, you’re actually building a personal skincare lab that lets you make dozens of high-performance products for just a few dollars each.
Below is a cost breakdown for the Serum Maker recipes. You’ll see the actual cost per batch, and the number of overlapping ingredients.
Serum Maker DIY Skincare Essentials FAQs
Q: How much money will I really save?
A: The savings are huge. Take Vitamin C + E + Ferulic serum — retail: $182. In this course, you’ll make the same active formula for just $0.86 a batch. Multiply that across your entire skincare routine, and you’re saving hundreds, even thousands every year.
Q: Is it expensive to get started?
A: There’s a small upfront investment, but it’s still far less than buying retail. The best part? Most ingredients are used in multiple recipes, so nothing goes to waste. Once you have your basics, you’ll be set to make dozens of formulas without buying again.
Q: Is this better than just buying skincare?
A: Yes . You’ll use maximum concentrations of actives, not the trace amounts retail brands use (and charge a lot for!)
Q: Do I need to purchase special equipment?
A: You’ll just need a digital scale (about $15) and a hand blender (around $20) for the emulsions. You most likely have items around your kitchen - like spoons and bowls/saucers for mixing. Until you know what container you'd like to use, you can re-use a retail bottle or jar. Make sure it has a tight lid.
Q: Do I need experience?
A: Nope. I started with zero experience. I know the questions you’ll have, and I break it down step by step. No big words, no confusing formulas ~ just clear guidance you can actually follow.
Q: Is there a lot of math involved?
A: No - I created recipes that have exact amounts so you don't have to convert any formulas - but in case you do want to in the future - I teach you how. I built a simple spreadsheet that converts percentages into grams for you. No calculations, no stress - just plug and play.
Q: Why don’t you use drops or measuring spoons?
A: Because skincare ingredients aren’t like sugar or flour. A teaspoon of Vitamin E (thick and heavy) isn’t the same as a teaspoon of Rose Water (thin and light). Same goes for our powder ingredients. That’s why we use grams and a scale — it’s precise, safe, and guarantees your formulas actually work.
Q: What will I learn about ingredients?
A: Ads tell you products are great. But do you understand why? We explore:
-
Which ingredients are right for your skin goals
-
How to pair actives for maximum results
-
The different types of peptides, retinoids, and liposomes
Q: Will this teach me how to make serums and emulsions?
A: This is where the magic happens. You’ll learn:
-
The basics of serums and emulsions
-
pH balance, preservatives and storage best practices
-
How to convert formulas to recipes (so you can formulate yourself forever;)
