Aromatherapy Essentail Oil Profiling

Course review:

This CPD accredited home study course is a must for anyone who wishes to use essential oils in their cosmetic products including soaps, creams, shampoos, bath fizz, perfumes etc.

The course studies 40 essential oils and discusses the profile of the oils from many different angles. We look at different extraction methods, how the oils should be handled and stored, their therapeutic and mood enhancing properties and how they can be used to benefit different skin/hair types.

We take a look at the chemical components of the oils. We also discuss how the oils can work in synergy with each other, which oils are best avoided, when and why.

The emphasis during the course is focussing on the essential oils themselves with a view to using them in cosmetics and for general well-being. Product making is therefore limited to making a facial or body oil, a bath oil and scenting aromabeads. Whilst this course will give you an excellent insight into essential oils and their uses, we do not include physical anatomy or hands-on massage.

Ingredients sent to you as part of the course include 20 x 5ml bottles of Essential Oils*, a selection of carrier oils, bath oil base, aromabeads and packaging.

The course is broken down into four modules. At the end of each module there will be a short test and an assignment for you to complete and return to your instructor so that she may assess the level of your understanding of the topics covered in that module. When you have successfully completed module one, module two will be uploaded for you. This course enables you to study at home and there is no time limit to pressure you. The course can take as little or as long as you wish, depending on the time you can set aside for learning.
