What Plush Folly will provide -
We will provide you with all the raw materials you need for this course although we don't send you water (floral water yes, tap or bottle water no!).

The ingredients we send you include a variety of oils, butters, waxes, essential oils, specialist ingredients, clays, colours and more, We will also provide you with packaging, full course notes, instructions, recipes, hints and tips. Please note that we recognise that you may already have some of the heavier or 'easy to purchase from the supermarket' ingredients and therefore we give you the option not to purchase these with your course. This will keep the parcel shipping costs down. * See details below.

What you will need to provide -
You will need to provide all the equipment needed for ‘cooking’ your products. These include saucepans, glass jugs, heat source (gas or electric cooker), metric scales, spoons, protective clothing (rubber or latex gloves) and anything you need to clear up before and after making your products.

A printed certificate is issued to those who have successfully completed this course.

* There are four options when purchasing this course :

Course + Bonus Pack
This will give you access to all the courseware and a large range of ingredients to use throughout the course when following the recipes. In addition you will be given a bonus pack which will give you more flexibility when formulating your own versions of the recipes. Whilst you can make the products without the bonus pack, it will enable you to try new ingredients such as dairy and fruit powders, silicone, less common herbs and botanicals, a variety of esfoliating ingredients including bamboo powder and mineral clays/muds, speciality oils and more packaging options

Course Without Bonus Pack
As above, but without the bonus pack.

Course - no heavy items but with bonus pack
This will give you access to all the courseware and a large range of ingredients to use throughout the course including the bonus pack. However, it does not include the heavier ingredients including bicarbonate of soda, citric acid, sea salt, cornflour and milk powder. If you can provide these yourself, it will certainly reduce the cost of posting the course to you (unless you are buying several items at once and can take advantage of our capped postage offer.)

Course - without heavy items or bonus pack
This enables you to access the courseware and a large range of ingredients but you will need to provide the heavier items as mentioned above. No bonus pack is included with this option.

This course is also available as a Learning Kit. The learning kit contains the ingredients (includes heavies but not the bonus pack), packaging and courseware. The only difference is that you don't get tutor support, assignments, tests or certificate. The full courseware is made available to you on CD. The ingredients and packaging are sent to you so that you can study whenever you wish
