Amy Scott

I really enjoyed studying the Oils Only Recipes & Methods course with Susan. It gathers together all the core information on getting to know the plant characteristics and chemistry of a wide range of oils. It provides helpful tips on how to formulate different oily products.The course has lots of valuable references, descriptions and comparisons. I liked the opportunity to study at my own pace. Some of the exotic oils sound wonderful and I hope to explore all the oils further!
