How to stabilize a cream formula with 5% retinol?

For stabilization, I recommend: 1) Olivem 1000 (3–5%) as the primary emulsifier, 2) add cetyl alcohol (1–2%) for thickening, 3) encapsulate the retinol in cyclodextrins...

Student reviews

Oksana provides the nuances and depth that we look for in chats, on Google — everywhere. There is a lot of information, a lot of cosmetic chemistry, and most importantly, she explains everything in detail and with examples, as if teaching primary-school children. Personally, I find a lot of useful and necessary information, and most importantly, an understanding of what we are doing has formed and continues to form. Perhaps the most important thing is to create a cream formula consciously and competently, knowing that the final result will match what was intended. I recommend it!

Oksana Karasova
Cosmetic Chemistry

I confirm everything my fellow students said above. I have also been making creams for a long time and could only dream of such training. And the voice — I realized that not only is everything useful to me, but it is also pleasant — the teacher's voice, manner, and appearance turn out to be very important to me!

I am very satisfied with what Oksana provides, and this is not flattery, it is truly the case! As someone who is not a chemist at all, I rewatch the lessons, and each time I understand something new.

I think no one in our Russian-speaking space provides better information — neither in terms of completeness nor accessibility. Oksana has a huge advantage: she communicates in professional circles in Europe and the UK and receives the latest research data, which she generously shares.

Cosmetic Chemistry

Very important! A complete understanding of what you are doing. This is professional knowledge! Oksana breaks everything down, at least in my head. I highly recommend this to those who are looking for knowledge; you will find it here.

Cosmetic Chemistry

For me, this is far from my first basic education, not counting individual courses and paid chats for formulators. But in every lesson with Oksana, I learn a lot of new things; such a deep understanding of things comes that it gives me goosebumps.

Ksenia Dorosh
Cosmetic Chemistry

The knowledge provided in this school is deep, not superficial, which will undoubtedly be useful later. The training takes place in an accessible, concise format, and our knowledge is immediately checked through testing. I am chipping away at cosmetic chemistry and hope that when I finish school, I will have not just a piece of paper about the knowledge I've listened to, but a real certificate!

Cosmetic Chemistry

Most of those who come to Oksana are not beginners in cosmetic formulation. Oksana has her own approach; we learn with a gradual immersion. There is a lot of information; I personally rewatch each lesson at least 2-3 times and always take notes.
