Marie Knows Her Shampoo

Thanks, Marie. You are informative and knowledgeable. The information you provided will be a good starting place as I attempt my first shampoo bar. Finding the cheat sheet wasn't intuitive; that could be improved upon.

I have played with many formulations. However, I never completely understood the significance of what each ingredient brings to the table. Marie makes this fun and informative and talks in a way that Everyone gets a full understanding of what, and how to make this your own. The explanations and thorough dive into ingredients, simplifying them to everyone's level of understanding is priceless. The trouble shooting section really helps to show you how to fix any problem and formulate for particular hair types to make it perfect for anybody's individual hair type. I was so very impressed and am looking forward to Marie's next offering in the workshop area. Great Job Marie, I am so thankful for you, and I appreciate you more than you can know. You truly make this a "Happy Making" Project. Thank you again, Carol

I love Marie Rayma's courses - they have such valuable information and dig deep into explanations about ingredients and the way they work. This course has all of that and the added bonus of putting it in your hands so you are immediately formulating your very own shampoo bar as you work through the course. I haven't tried mine yet, it may be a flop, who knows?! But I'm going to try it and if it doesn't work I will review the troubleshooting and try it again. More than just recipes to follow, this course is the first step into taking the formulating reigns and seeing what you come up with. Great Marie Rayma course PLUS inspiration! Love it!

FAQ

  • How long is the workshop?

    The workshop is approximately 110 minutes long.

  • How do I access the recording and the cheat sheet?

    Both are be hosted here on this Workshops website; you'll simply log in after purchasing.

  • How much is the workshop?

    The workshop is $129 USD + any applicable taxes.

  • Is this formulation all-natural?

    I'll be teaching you how to formulate shampoo bars; whether or not they're natural will depend on the ingredients you choose to use for your formulations. We will discuss natural ingredient options.

  • Will this teach me how to make chemical free shampoo bars?

    No; and that's simply because literally everything is chemicals. The water you drink, the air you breathe, and the food you eat are all made up entirely of chemicals. "Chemical" doesn't mean something is bad—it really just means it exists :)

    Yes! The video workshop has full English subtitles.

    Please ensure you read the workshop description carefully before enrolling as the guarantee covers situations where the workshop doesn't match its description, not a change of mind due to not reading what's included.
