What homeschool parents ask before they buy.

Yes. 12 months of standards-alignment docs, lab notebooks, vocab, learning objectives, and end-of-year assessments — enough to file as full science credit in every ESA state and most non-ESA reporting states.

Same box, three age tracks. Your 6-year-old stirs and picks scents. Your 10-year-old experiments and writes lab notes. Your 14-year-old designs formulas and writes a lab report. Same table. Same supplies. Three depths of learning.

Read the 10-minute parent guide together, hand each kid their age-track notebook, then run the lab. About 1 hour every other week. The parent guide tells you exactly what to say.

Yes — AZ, FL, TX, UT, WV are approved. ClassWallet approved. We provide the invoice format each state requires. $540/year fits comfortably inside every state's ESA budget ($4,600–$10,800).

Month 1 = Body Care (emulsions, carrier oils, lotions). Year 2 expands recipes and rotates new themes — Bath Salts, Salves, Soap revisited at deeper chemistry.

Recipe Box Homeschool Edition — full year spread with bonus box, oils, journals, certificate

Amanda M.Verified Buyer

"I was skeptical that one box could work for my 6-year-old and my 11-year-old at the same time. It does. Both of them ran the soap lesson at their own level — same kitchen, same hour, totally different experience. First curriculum I've kept past month two."

Renee K.Verified Buyer

"Used our Arizona ESA funds — submitted through ClassWallet and approved fast. We've gotten three boxes so far and the kids ask when the next one comes."

"My kid said 'this is the best science we've ever done' after the first lesson. He's 9. The parent guide is so well written I actually feel like I'm teaching, not just supervising."

Jess T.Verified Buyer

"I have a 5, 8, and 13-year-old. This is the FIRST curriculum that has worked for all three of them at once. Worth every penny."

Beth W.Verified Buyer

"The chemistry is real. My 12-year-old is now genuinely interested in pH and emulsions. He's never said that about a textbook."

Sarah L.Verified Buyer

"I love that 13% goes to fight human trafficking. It feels like more than a curriculum — it feels like we're part of something."
