Phyto Artisan™ Product Formulation

A complete, structured training in botanical product formulation — designed to build real competence in ingredient logic, safety reasoning, batch consistency, and professional standards.

Pace

Step-by-step lab progression

Build skills in a logical sequence, from foundations to advanced systems.

Focus

Formulation logic + botanicals

Ingredient function, stability awareness, and plant-based performance.

Outcome

Portfolio-ready products

A documented set of formulas you can reproduce and refine professionally.

Best for: students who want real formulation competence — not random DIY recipes, and not unsafe “natural” claims.

Important scope note: This is education in natural formulation and responsible product-making. Students learn safety reasoning, documentation, and realistic claims language — aligned with professional standards and local regulations.

Program identity

What this program is

Phyto Artisan™ Product Formulation is a professional training for people who want to create herbal and botanical products with structure, purpose, and repeatable quality. You learn how to think like a formulator: functions, percentages, stability considerations, documentation, and responsible claims language — while working with plants in a grounded, respectful way.

Who it is for

Herbalists who want to translate plant knowledge into safe, well-designed products.
Natural skincare makers who want structure, consistency, and professional standards.
Students who want to understand ingredients by function, not by trends.
Entrepreneurs who want a documented, repeatable product process.
Learners who value safety, batch discipline, and clear rationale.

Who it is not for

Anyone looking for fast hacks or “viral” recipes without fundamentals.
People who want to skip safety, documentation, or realistic claims language.
Students who want only inspiration content without building competence.

Entry expectations

No formal chemistry background required.
Willingness to work precisely: notes, percentages, iterations, and evaluation.
A responsible mindset: safety first, quality first, honesty in claims.

Competency promise

By completing the program, the student can:

Design formulas using ingredient function and purpose-driven logic.
Work with herbs and botanical extracts responsibly in products and preparations.
Document formulas clearly: batch notes, process notes, and change logs.
Apply safety reasoning and realistic claims language appropriate for the product and region.
Build a product portfolio that reflects real competence and repeatable quality.

Program learning outcomes

Program outcomes are stable even when lesson content evolves.

Formulation foundations outcomes

Understand ingredient roles: structure, feel, performance, and preservation strategy.
Build percentage literacy: formula maths, scaling, and batch consistency.
Work with raw material quality, sourcing, and realistic constraints.

Botanical ingredient logic outcomes

Choose herbs and extracts based on function, fit, and stability considerations.
Match plant preparations to the correct product type and method.
Design purposeful products with a clear rationale for each ingredient.

Safety and documentation outcomes

Apply safety reasoning for essential oils, allergens, and sensitive materials.
Use clean documentation habits: batch sheets, process notes, and version control.
Understand how to communicate responsible product boundaries.

Professional standards outcomes

Create products that are consistent, reproducible, and professionally presented.
Design labels and product descriptions with honest, region-appropriate claims language.
Build a sustainable workflow for small-batch or scalable production.

Curriculum map (stable spine)

This map is the stable “spine” of the program. You can refine lesson titles and add better material without changing the academic integrity.

Foundations layer

Formulation fundamentals and percentages
Ingredient function: structure, feel, and performance
Botanical preparations for products: oils, extracts, tinctures, infusions

Quality and craft layer

Hygiene and batch discipline
Process control and reproducibility
Materials, packaging, and shelf-life thinking

Product systems layer

Oils, balms, salves, and anhydrous systems
Water-based products and emulsions (where relevant)
Botanical cleansing and hair care systems
Functional products: targeted skin support and barrier care
Sensory design: texture, slip, absorbency, scent strategy

Professional layer

Safety reasoning and compliance mindset
Documentation, batch logs, and version control
Responsible claims language and product boundaries
Business readiness: pricing logic, production workflow, and product presentation

Learning design

Lab-based progression

You learn through guided builds, testing mindset, and structured iteration — so your products improve through skill, not luck.

Ingredient logic

Every ingredient has a purpose. You learn to choose materials by function, fit, and trade-offs — not trends.

Documentation discipline

Your work becomes professional when it is repeatable. You build habits that support quality, safety, and consistent results.

Assessment approach

Competence is proven through real builds and clear rationale.

Formative assessments

Formula worksheets with function and percentage rationale.
Batch logs with process notes and changes tracked.
Ingredient studies: function, risks, and suitable use cases.
Short reflections on safety and claims language.

Summative assessments

A small product line with documented formulas and repeatable process.
Safety reasoning notes suitable for your product types.
Professional presentation: description, boundaries, and honest claims language.

Capstone project

Phyto Artisan™ Product Portfolio

A strong capstone can include:

A focused product set (for example: balm, oil blend, and one targeted support product).
Full formula sheets with percentages, batch sizes, and process notes.
Safety notes and responsible claims language for each product.
Packaging and usage guidance aligned with realistic expectations.
A final reflection on quality control and how you improved the formulas over iterations.

Portfolio signal: This capstone becomes a professional portfolio students can be proud of, showing real formulation competence.

Update policy

Living curriculum, stable outcomes: Lesson titles, sequencing, and resources may evolve as the program improves. Program outcomes and the curriculum spine remain stable so students always know what they are building toward.
