*Custom Blending & Selling Products*
During our aromatherapy courses, you’ll learn how to create custom essential oil blends tailored to each client through a professional consultation process. These blends can be used safely during treatments or prepared for clients' personal use. However, if you wish to sell these products to the public (off the shelf) — such as balms, rollerballs, or skincare items — they must undergo cosmetic product safety assessments (CPSR) and meet legal requirements under UK cosmetic regulations.
