These might include manufacturing, staff, marketing, certification and other business overheads. And of course the business needs to make a healthy profit so that is added on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #aa2186;\">How did we <i>create<\/i> these formulas?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A company is legally required to list the ingredients of a product on the product label. Ingredients are listed in descending order of concentration. You can read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/how-to-read-a-cosmetic-label\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to read and understand a product label here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is something you can learn as well! It is something you\u2019ll learn by taking our online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/certificate-in-natural-high-performance-serum-formulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Advanced Certificate in High-Performance Serum Formulation<\/a>. Go check the course out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/certificate-in-natural-high-performance-serum-formulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><i>Important:<\/i><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not claiming that the formulas shared here are the exact formula that is used by the brand. Nor are we trying to copy or be disrespectful of the companies featured who have worked hard to create not just awesome products but also awesome brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, we are demonstrating that when you understand how a formula is put together and can read an ingredient list, you can take inspiration from a product you love and formulate a very similar product with the same ingredients for a fraction of the cost. Some people like to \u201cdupe\u201d their favorite product; we prefer to take inspiration from our favorite products. But the choice is yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most <i>commercial<\/i> skincare products like to use a lot of oils for <i>marketing<\/i> purposes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are usually included at a very small percentage, often for marketing purposes rather than to offer much skin benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you formulate and make your own products you can make them for a lot less AND you could also increase the percentage that the more specialist and exotic oils are used at, if you wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A note on how we <i>costed<\/i> these products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s fascinating to calculate how much these would cost you to make at home versus buying them from a top natural\/organic brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We only calculated the cost based on the amount of ingredient used in the formula. We didn\u2019t take into consideration wastage of ingredients or any other overhead like time\/equipment. These products are quick and easy to make and require minimal equipment or time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We found the cost of 100ml of each ingredient (unless otherwise stated) and calculated based on that. Of course in reality you may buy smaller amounts of each (for example 10ml of Coenzyme Q10) which works out slightly more expensive. We included organic oils where available as the original products use mostly organic ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costs of ingredients obviously varies from one supplier to another and from one country to another. The price we have calculated therefore would vary depending on which country you are in and supplier you use, but even allowing for this, you\u2019ll see just how much cheaper it is when you make your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of packaging also varies greatly. We added on the cost for a bottle similar to the one used in the original product. Less expensive packaging options would also be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #aa2186;\">Rejuvenating Frankincense Facial Oil, <i>Neal\u2019s Yard<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GBP \u00a332 \/ US $44 per 30ml \/ 1fl.oz.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quality facial oil, high in organic ingredients, from an iconic brand established in Covent Garden, London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Make your own for \u00a31.38 \/ $1.91 (Including packaging \u00a32.03 \/ $2.90)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saving: \u00a329.97 \/ $41.10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INCI: Macadamia ternifolia (Macadamia) seed oil*, Adansonia digitata (Baobab) seed oil*, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) kernel oil*, Ricinus communis (Castor) seed oil*, Oenothera biennis (Evening primrose) oil*, Cannabis sativa (Hemp) seed oil*, Vitis vinifera (Grape) seed oil*, Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) oil, Citrus nobilis (Mandarin) peel oil expressed*, Citrus bergamia (Bergamot) peel oil expressed*, Commiphora myrrha (Myrrh) gum oil, Curcuma longa (Turmeric) root extract, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil, Tocopherol, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Organically produced ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/01\/pipette-unscrewed.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122399 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><i>Our<\/i> formula<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">87% Macadamia seed oil<br>2% Baobab seed oil<br>2% Apricot kernel oil<br>2% Castor oil<br>2% Evening primrose oil<br>2% Hemp oil<br>2% Grape seed oil<br>0.5% Essential oil blend consisting of frankincense, mandarin, bergamot, myrrh<br>0.25% Turmeric root extract (we couldn\u2019t find an oil-soluble extract so used essential oil instead)<br>0.25% Tocopherol (vitamin E)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #aa2186;\">The Youth Dew, <i>May Lindstrom<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sold for GBP \u00a3101 \/ US $140 per 30ml \/ 1fl.oz.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May Lindstrom has created just the most divine brand!
