About Angela Wills


I’ve been creating handmade soaps, creams, and beauty products for over 15 years. What started as a simple curiosity about what goes into store-bought skincare has grown into a lifelong passion, and a mission to help others take control of what they put on their skin.

As a skincare formulator, soap maker, author, and mom of three (and now a proud grandma!), I’ve spent years experimenting, refining recipes, and teaching thousands of students how to make products that truly work.

This Fabulous Face Creams Course brings together everything I’ve learned, all my tried, tested, and perfected methods, to help you confidently make professional-quality moisturizers at home.

Whether you’re creating for yourself, gifting friends, or building a small business, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

About The Moisturizer Formulation Inspiration Lessons

Green Tea Face Cream

There are ingredients that can help stimulate collagen production. We’ve used many of them here. This is possibly the most complicated formula we have in this course, so hold onto your hats and dive right in.

Night Time Facial Oil

Many of us wake up in the morning and apply our moisturizers, as well as other aspects of our skincare routine. However, applying a moisturizer before bed is just as important.

anti-aging night crème
Anti-Aging Night Crème

Monoi de tahiti is a very exotic ingredient that is absolutely to die for. Not only does it have all of the amazing benefits of coconut oil, it also carries the scent of the Tahitian Gardenia flower - which is heavenly.

Sweet Orange Lip Balm

Using the right lip balm for you is important. If it’s formulated properly, you never have to worry about chapped, dry or cracked lips again.

When your eyes are tired, dry and scratchy, it is unbelievably satisfying finding some relief. This is what we’ve designed this formula to do.

Hydrating Eye Cream

This hydrating eye cream is exactly what tired, dry eyes are craving. A little of this under and around the eyes will make those scratchy, tired eyes feel like normal again.

Your lip balms don’t have to be boring. Why not try adding a little mica to color a lip balm and make sure it stands out from all the others.

A Personal Note From Angela

Hi, I'm Angela, and I'll be teaching you how to make DIY products from the comfort of your own home.

"I make most of the homemade things here at Savvy Homemade. I’m fearlessly dedicated to creating tried, tested recipes & products that will work for everyone. I'm an experienced soap maker, skincare formulator, author, busy Mom of 3, and recently a Grandma!

My online courses are the product of years and years of experimentation, and I'm so excited to finally let them loose on you all.

I hope you love learning how to make face serums as much as I did, except at a much faster pace!" - Angela
