In this next exciting module in the Advanced Certificate in High-Performance Serum Formulation, you will learn about the functions, benefits, properties and qualities of three types of anhydrous serum: liquid oil serums, pressed serums and lip serum. 

By the end of the module, you will be able to confidently identify appropriate ingredients to include in anhydrous serums, use formulation templates to formulate anhydrous serums and make a range of anhydrous serums to add to your formulating skill set! 

​In Module 3, we will teach you the theory behind formulating anhydrous serums, before moving on to show you some formulation examples, including demonstration videos where you can watch our cosmetic scientists formulating some of the products featured in the module. 

There is also a troubleshooting section to help you when you start to formulate your own anhydrous serums.
