“Rachael gave me the knowledge, credentials and confidence to
take my business to the next level”
Terry N. Bailey, Owner of TENOBA Bodycare








You want to create natural products AND a thriving business
A business that will provide you with:

- The confidence to formulate recipes for individual clients so you can target their actual needs and always be their go-to skincare professional
- The knowledge of why certain ingredients work together so you’ll never have to guess or experiment
- The expertise of understanding skincare on a deeper level
- The thrill of turning your passion into extra income for your family (and actually scaling it up) so you’ll never have to scramble for extra cash
But instead this is what you’re doing:

- DIYing formulations and praying your client’s skin doesn’t react
- Wondering how and where to start your own business?
- Wondering if the FDA will be knocking on your door
- Splashing out hundreds of dollars on lotions promising to be your new miracle cure when you KNOW there’s a better option out there
- Wishing it wasn’t so complicated to formulate and preserve skincare without hiring a professional or needing a laboratory

It’s so hard to find the real answers online. Free resources and searching on Google will give you answers that barely scratch the surface of skincare formulation and natural ingredients.
You’ll eventually be able to piecemeal together answers but it will take you months. And even then, you’ll still have a lot of experimentation in front of you.
No wonder you’re lacking the confidence, knowledge, and expertise to formulate safe and natural skincare products.
Because you need ALL the pieces in place, not just part of the puzzle.
It takes expert knowledge, practical skills, AND business strategies to create a skincare business without a brick and mortar store or over-complicated supply chain
This is your opportunity to gain all 3 in one place, without painstakingly searching for the information, piecing it together, and testing.
Get the expert knowledge on skincare formulation, ingredients, emulsification and product preservation.
Gain practical skills to create products yourself.
Learn business strategies that will turn your passion into a profitable profession.

- Forget generic skin types. There’s no guesswork. It’s science.
- Your products will always work for them and you’ll become their go-to.

“Create Your Skincare Pro was more than I expected, I truly recommend it. It helped me not only with my formulations, but with my business and mindset. It was very organized, complete, and well-paced so I could experiment with the formulas. Thanks Rachael for being so patient and answering all my questions!”
Andrea de la Fuente, Piedra Caliza

- Working with Rachael was the best decision I made for my skincare business.
As someone who is committed to holistic skincare, high quality clean ingredients, and has a big vision, I knew I needed help from a seasoned professional. I’ve had friends gift me handmade skincare gifts which have gone moldy and rancid. Gross! I needed someone with the same holistic values and knew could teach me non-toxic methods of preservation. When deciding to become a Create Your Skincare Pro Masterpreneur student, I knew it was a commitment. It’s been worth every penny. Her course has so much information! That part alone is amazing–after all she has been teaching this course for years before the pandemic. As a Masterprenuer student, I have weekly calls with her. Rachael has been there every step of the process for me. She never ceases to impress me with not only her knowledge of formulating skincare but also her knowledge of sourcing quality ingredients, her business savvy, marketing and media knowledge, and her knowledge of EWG standards, Made Safe, and the other clean certifications. If you’re wanting to start making skincare for clients or launching a new skincare business, Rachael Pontillo goes above and beyond to help bring your dreams to reality.

- Best investment for my business hands down!"
“The Create Your Skincare Pro Masterpreneur Intensive is just that-intense! It’s a good type of intense though. It will help you launch your products much quicker than if you were formulating on your own. Rachael’s knowledge of ingredients and how to combine them for the max results is unparalleled. I was able to get my products out there quicker than I thought was possible with her help. I have a level of confidence in my products that I would not have had without her help. Not only do my clients have high expectations, I do as well. My products have to be able to deliver the results we both expect. With Rachael’s help, I can build formulations that are able to deliver the results my clients are looking for. Custom skincare is one of the hardest things to do as formulations are constantly evolving. Rachael’s help allowed me to build my brand in months versus years it would have taken me on my own.”
Vicki Parra, Molecular Biologist, Licensed Aesthetician, Founder of Why Not You Skincare

Hi, I’m Rachael, your instructor, mentor, guide, and biggest cheerleader.
I’ve taught 100s of licensed aestheticians, wellness professionals, and budding beauty entrepreneurs students how to custom make their own skincare products and create a successful business.
My mission is to help women fall back in love with themselves (and skincare) and create a thriving business.
I saw the power of natural skincare after my acne disappeared once I formulated my own products and adopted a healthy lifestyle. I had spent thousands of dollars on useless products and countless hours visiting dermatologists, and doctors who prescribed me various medications. But the custom skincare made the biggest difference.
When I started in the skincare industry, I realized how unregulated the industry is, which meant that companies often use toxic chemicals in their products. And they sell products for generic, outdated skin types, instead of focusing on our individual needs.
So I was determined to prove there’s a better way. A way to choose ingredients and design products for real people - not skin types.
I spent years investigating and my Skin Sequencing® Method was born. It’s the fast track to create products that meet your clients’ needs as their skin changes.
And inside Create Your Skincare, it’s all yours.
I’m so passionate about skincare because I’ve lived through the sympathetic stares, self-confidence lows, and hopeless solutions.
So I created Create Your Skincare to be the ONLY course you need to learn skincare formulation and the business strategies to turn your passion into a profitable profession.

- “The support from Rachael is impressive. She responded so quickly to my questions”
“I benefited so much from this experience. I gained so much more confidence in my abilities as a skincare formulator and also learned to formulate many new products. I didn’t realize there were so many different ways to formulate a cleanser! The support from Rachael was rather impressive. I felt supported and encouraged every step of the way. I was surprised by how fast she responded to all the questions I had. There is so much valuable material in this course. I know I will keep revisiting this course again and again. Thank you again Rachael!”

Questions Create Your Skincare Pro students have asked before joining
All products you’ll learn to make and sell in Create Your Skincare Pro are made from scratch.
No. Sunscreen ingredients—even natural mineral ones—are regulated as drugs by the FDA. We only teach products that fall under the FDA’s definition of cosmetics in Create Your Skincare.
No worries! I’ll record all the calls and you’ll have access to those recordings until the next school year begins. You can ask your questions ahead of time and I’ll be sure to answer them during the calls or in our private student group.
No. Most live calls occur at 1pm EST on Wednesdays during the school year. A complete course schedule is provided upon registration so that students can plan accordingly. All calls are recorded and questions may be asked ahead of time, and also answered in the Facebook group.
You have lifetime access to the downloadable and video curriculum in Levels 1-4, the Bonus Module, and the Create Your Skincare Alumni Facebook group for life. You have access to the weekly live calls and their recordings for one year. After that year passes, if you would like to continue to have access to the weekly live calls and their recordings, you may purchase another year of access for a reduced rate. If you are a CYS Pro VIP or Masterpreneur Intensive student, you also have lifetime access to the Advanced Skin Sequencing® Course.
As a Create Your Skincare Pro VIP student, you get two 1-on-1 mentoring calls with me during the school year. If you feel you need more support than that, I’m available to all Create Your Skincare students for additional consultations for a special student rate, or you can apply for the Create Your Skincare Masterpreneur Intensive program which offers weekly check-in calls and monthly strategy calls.
You have three (3) business days following your enrollment to change your mind, cancel your enrollment, and receive a full refund for Create Your Skincare Pro. Since this is an online course, you’ll receive instant access to the Create Your Skincare Homeroom, private Facebook group, and course downloads including your Course Planner and Master Formulary. Because these materials are delivered digitally, refunds aren’t possible after the initial three business days. I know you’re going to love this course and I’ve made great efforts to structure it in a way that ensures your enjoyment and success. Because I want you to be successful in Create Your Skincare, there’s a TON of support available from me before, during, and even after the course–plus you’ll have lifetime access to all materials and the Facebook group.
Though Create Your Skincare Pro teaches information that may be used to improve the appearance of one’s skin; as well as earn or increase income, we offer no guarantee for earning potential, nor are we responsible for lost income. All students are solely responsible for their own skin results, education, income, and career advancement.
Please email info@createyourskincare.com –I’m happy to support you and give you the info you need so you feel confident and ready to enroll in the course!

- “I’ve taken courses in the past but never had the confidence...after CYS, I sell my products to the public”
I signed up for Create Your Skincare because I wanted to get professional and high quality knowledge that I could use in creating my own skincare as well as for my clients. Before Create Your Skincare, I was really frustrated because I had taken skincare formulation courses in the past, but for some reason I did not have the confidence I needed to move forward with creating custom products for myself and others. I have never trusted the DIY recipes on beauty blogs and YouTube and I did not want to be a recipe follower. I wanted to create high-end and high performing products and I wanted to learn from a real expert.
Ultimately, I trusted Rachael to provide this information to me and she definitely delivered. I learned so much in this course. I would recommend this course to anyone who does not have a chemist or science background, like me. I was not intimidated by the course at all and it was not difficult to understand. I have gained the confidence as a professional skincare formulator that I was looking for. Now I sell my products to the public.”
Kim Handy, Owner and Founder of GlammGirl

My hopes for you
Hey there,
I am so excited you’re on this page. It gives me hope to see skincare professionals who are actively seeking safer alternatives to the mass-produced ineffective products in the market.
Together, we can create skincare products that are safer, more effective and targeted towards our individual needs.
I’m passionate about helping my students succeed, and I see a lot of abundance in your future.
The truth is… once we actively follow our dreams, that’s when we truly feel like we’re living.
I know because I’ve heard it time and time again from my students.
They put off pursuing their passions for years because of other responsibilities.
But when they realized they had an opportunity, they chased it down with everything they had.
This is what I want for you.
Chase the dream you’ve wanted for years.
Because in 12 months’ time, YOU could be the success story I’m sharing with the next round of students.
I wish you all the luck.
Rachael
