Emulsion Potency Lite is a fast-paced, practical training designed to give you a clear understanding of cosmetic emulsions in just five days.
This program focuses on what you actually need to start formulating. You will learn how emulsions work, how to build formulas, how to improve stability, and how to produce safe, high-quality products.
It is ideal if you want strong foundational knowledge without going through the full certification program.
By the end of the course, you will feel confident creating and adjusting your own lotion and cream formulations.
Important Note
Emulsion Potency was created under our previous brand, Nesvillaskinhub.
We have since rebranded to Dermalyte Institute.
If you see either name in any materials, they both refer to the same training program and curriculum.
Curriculum
- 5 Sections
- 6 Lessons
- 26 Weeks
- Module 1 (Day 1)1 ItemThis module covers the science the rest of the workshop builds on. You'll learn the different emulsion types and how each behaves in real formulas, why HLB matters when you're picking emulsifiers, and how to work with pH in a way that protects your final product.
- Module 2: Day 21 ItemThis module covers the three things that decide whether your product feels good, lasts on the shelf, and actually performs. You'll learn what a stability check really is.
- Module 3: Day 31 ItemThis module breaks down what phases actually mean in cosmetic science, how to formulate like a professional rather than a recipe follower, and the right device for thermal checks (and why temperature management is more than guessing).
- Module 4 (Day 4)1 ItemYou'll learn what separates an extract from an infusion, how lipids behave in cosmetics, and when to reach for which in your formulas.
- Module 5 (Day 5)2 ItemsThe final module closes out the workshop with the parts that make a formula sellable, not just functional. You'll learn how to use preservatives effectively to keep your products safe and stable
Course reviews
Reviews from students who took this course.
My experience with Dermalyte Institute has been a mix of both positive and frustrating moments.
The teaching is excellent, and I genuinely gained a lot of knowledge from the Emulsion Potency course. I really appreciate the quality of the training and the value of what I learned.
However, the website experience has been extremely frustrating. Having to struggle with logging in, accessing course materials, and repeatedly facing issues with the platform makes the learning process unnecessarily stressful.
Honestly, I am interested in taking another class with the institute, but my previous experience with the website makes me hesitant to enroll again.
I sincerely hope Dermalyte Institute will improve its website and student access system because the quality of the teaching deserves a much better learning platform.
I can’t fault this training in anyway, the tutor (Nessa) is thorough, her mode of delivery was succinct, she’ll actually made sure that you understand every single detail, the whys behind every single ingredients you add to your formulation. It felt like I was in school again. She’s make sure that you complete your assignment with several revisions and the support is outstanding. I am grateful.
