Which is better value?
Three or more chapters from the same book costs more than the book itself. Single chapters are for when you want one specific formula — a shampoo bar, a barrier cream, a cake candle — and nothing else.

Questions about single chapters
What format is the book in?
A PDF, formatted as two-page spreads. It opens on a phone, tablet, laptop or e-reader, and there is no app or account to install.
What language is it written in?
English.
Can I print it?
Yes. The PDF is not locked or DRM-protected, so you can print the whole book or just the formula you are working from. Every page carries a small stamp with the email address and date of your purchase, which marks the copy as yours.
How do I get the book after paying?
Instantly. Checkout runs on Payhip, and the download link appears on the confirmation screen and arrives by email the moment payment clears. Nothing is shipped and there is nothing to wait for.
Is there a refund?
Yes, within 30 days. If the book is not what you expected, write to us through the contact page with your order email and we will refund it.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. Each book opens with the safety and sterility protocol and assumes no prior experience. The formulas are ordered so the simplest come first — in the skin care book the first project needs no heat and no emulsifying at all.
Can I ask the author questions?
You can ask this site's Knowledge Assistant any question and get an answer drawn from the books, with the chapter to read next. For anything it cannot answer, write to the author through the contact page.
Can I sell what I make from these formulas?
You can sell the products you make. Be aware that products made for sale need additional stability, microbiological and safety testing, and must meet the cosmetic regulations of your market. The books teach the formulation, not the regulatory process. You may not resell or redistribute the book itself.
What exactly do I get in a single chapter?
The complete chapter as it appears in the book: the full ingredient table with INCI names and percentages, the phase structure, temperatures, target pH, the step-by-step method and the chapter's own FAQ. Nothing is abridged.
Does a chapter include the safety protocol?
Each chapter carries the safety notes relevant to that formula, but the full Non-Negotiable Protocol chapter is only in the complete books. If you have never formulated before, start with a book rather than a single chapter.
Can I put the price of a chapter towards the book later?
Not automatically. If you buy several chapters and then decide you want the whole book, write to us through the contact page and we will sort something out.
