Beauty Business & Formulation Academy™

Launch. Formulate. Certify. Scale.

Helping aspiring beauty entrepreneurs and existing beauty brands build compliant, profitable, scalable beauty businesses across East Africa.

This is not a hobby formulation school. It is a practical business growth academy for serious entrepreneurs — led by a founder who has built a brand, developed products, navigated compliance, managed production and expanded regionally.

The Learning Experience

Not a course. A working apprenticeship.

Every program blends three modes of learning — because building a beauty brand takes more than watching videos.

01
Formulate

Hands-on lab work with real ingredients, real equipment, and real product outcomes you can sell or scale.

02
Systemize

Templates, SOPs, pricing calculators and launch checklists you keep — the business machinery most founders skip.

03
Commercialize

Positioning, packaging, distribution and retention systems — the part that turns a product into a brand.

"I built this academy for the founder I was ten years ago — the one nobody would teach the real business of beauty. Formulation without commercial thinking is a hobby. Business without craft is a shortcut. You need both, and I'll show you how."

— Reulinah Munyazi · Founder, Yanzi Organics
