Cosmetic Formulation Academy

Uhuru Formulation Academy is a cosmetic formulation school that was born from Neo Chatyoka's experience of not finding a suitable skincare product of for her daughter who was struggling with eczema. We offer both online training and training at our Formulation Lab based in Wolverhampton. Our formulation courses are for formulators and indie beauty entrepreneurs who want to start their own organic and natural cosmetic range or business. Our academy, empowers women from underrepresented backgrounds with the skills to formulate, produce, and market their own beauty products. By combining inclusive education with AI-driven technology, we’re diversifying the beauty industry and increasing female representation in manufacturing and innovation. We do not train you to be a recipe follower, we teach you to be a innovator. Our mission is to simplify product formulation, empower underrepresented creators, and make beauty innovation accessible to all.
