Description

Today, it’s clear that being a small-batch artisan skincare maker can mean big business. And you don’t necessarily need an expensive degree or chemistry background to do it. Natalie Cascella, CEO, Author and Founder of Nuworld Botanicals is your Masterclass Coach, along with her sister Lana Marconi, Ph.D., R. Ac and her team of Nuworld Botanicals Mixologists.

Natalie sees a unique opportunity to draw from her own history of building a successful Canadian natural skincare company to helping other entrepreneurs looking to start or grow their business. Natalie has created, marketed and sold her own brand of natural skincare products in major retailers including Whole Foods Market, The Shopping Channel and Indigo for 7-plus years and now she's breaking down the steps, for you!

This course will teach you the art of raw skincare making and the business of launching into retail. The course is a mix of practical business lessons, proven and tested recipes and ingredients knowledge. You will learn how to create retail-ready products in your own kitchen including organic face oils, masks, body scrubs, vegan body creams, hair conditioner, shampoo and cleansing bars and more! Some of the recipes Natalie shares are best-sellers she's sold in Whole Foods Market.

Natalie loves to work with organic superfood ingredients she uses in her smoothies, like spirulina, turmeric for example and she encourages you to mix and match ingredients to make each recipe your own.
