Build your confidence and extend your skills one herbal formula at a time
Imagine having access to the wisdom of an experienced herbalist and chemist when learning how to make herbal skin care. Not another self-paced course, not another fast-paced YouTube video, not another expensive guidance-lacking formula PDF.
Full Craft brings something entirely new to the skin care making table!
A real person with real experience who will set you on the right path, offer guidance, reassurance and share the know-how. A passionate teacher who will encourage you along the way and save you tens of hours of research browsing the internet and reinventing the wheel.
From the rationale of a herbal skin care formula, to the making of herbal extracts, to the crafting of the final product.
Learn and solidify skin care making concepts and drills one specific herbal formula at a time.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
"Exactly the information I was looking for online but could never quite find. The step by step breakdown was so helpful and I feel confident I can create a cream now."

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
FULL CRAFT vs. HERBAL SKIN CRAFT
While Herbal Skin Craft focuses on general skin care making concepts and delivers meticulously researched technical information you can easily refer to, Full Craft sharpens your skin care making skillset, allowing you to zoom in on one particular herbal formula.
WHO ARE YOU
STUDENTS
Full Craft is particularly suited to everyone who took part (or considers to participate) in my signature offering of Herbal Skin Craft. While the two offerings are designed to complement each other, it does not matter in what order you participate in them (or if at all you partake in both of them). For Full Craft I recommend you having at least some basic experience or keen interest in herbal skin care making. I specialize in teaching naturopaths, clinical and folk herbalists, skin care formulators and aestheticians.

EVERYTHING ANSWERED
"I admire your perfectionism. I’m also so impressed that you really answered all Questions during the course! Each time I thought of something, you answered it! You are all over it!"
Jude - Holistic facialist
Hello, I am Kaja!
I am a herbalist with a formal background in European-style pharmacy (MPharm) and science (analytical chemistry PhD). I revel in presenting foundational knowledge from practical perspectives. My courses are rooted in traditional herbalism, underpinned by cosmetic science and infused with my direct personal experience.
I am a member of the Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists and I delivered invited talks at Australian universities on the topic of Herbal Skin Care.
Most importantly, the past 9 years have seen me crafting herbal skin care following the principles of pharmaceutical compounding and traditional herbalism. My herbal skin care has won prestigious industry awards and most importantly helped clients whose skin was going through literal & metaphorical rough patches.
Now I would like YOU to be able to do the same with the confidence both you and your community & clients deserve!
READY MORE THAN EVER
"I feel so much more prepared to formulate than ever. Kaja’s knowledge is next level and she gives her everything, which I’m so grateful."
- Jude, Facialist with 30+ years experience
IMPROVEMENT
"Kaja really knows her stuff and imparts it in a way that is accessible. I have no doubt that my herbal craft endeavours will vastly improve with my new found knowledge."
- Lisa, Herbalist
TRUST
"Kaja shared her knowledge in a way that's easy to understand and was very happy to clarify and answer any questions that we (her students) had! Given Kaja's background I knew that what she was teaching us was coming from a vast array of experience and years of learning!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Full Craft delivers transparent guidance on both formulation AND making of a herbal skin care product, INCLUDING the herbal extracts it contains. It combines comprehensive description, practical visuals (selection of photographs and / or short pre-recorded videos), and written resources in a live format. This means you have the opportunity to ask question directly at the source + discuss with other course participants. Full Craft is an interactive, explorative and very unique offering.
Absolutely! My courses combine knowledge and experience from several disciplines, including pharmaceutical compounding, cosmetic chemistry and herbalism. I pride myself on presenting information from refreshing perspectives and making it relevant for your practice.
No! While previous experience of herbalism or skin care making is advantageous, you don't need a degree in naturopathy or herbalism. Many of my students are home herbalists, making herbal remedies for themselves and their community. To take part in my courses I recommend to have, as a minimum, keen interest and basic experience with the making of either skin care or herbal medicine.
Short answer: No, you can't.
Long answer: While I endeavour to share formulas that are stable, not all of them underwent a full-spectrum lab testing for a commercial production. Additionally, your sourced ingredients, manufacturing skills & environment will be different from mine, so I cannot 100% guarantee stability and safety of the product you make.
If you decide to sell products made according to my formulas anyway, please, get in touch to discuss a licensing fee and credit me on your packaging and website; if a customer is purchasing the product from you, they should have a chance to learn to make their own just like you did.
Alternatively, if you would like me to help you develop a new formula to sell, contact me to discuss the details.
