Hi everyone. I've been checking out SMF for a few weeks and wanted to join the family. I make MP soaps, candles, jewelry--both semi-precious and polymer clay, cards, and painted, lighted glass blocks. I'm also trying to do some other B&B products but have some concerns after reading posts here. You all have already been so helpful to me, you make me think about new possibilities and share helpful warnings and other info. I have a lot of questions, such as:
1. Does anyone know how to make a massage lotion? Need this for friend who is helping me financially to get going with my business.
2. Does goat's milk lotion from WSP already have preservatives in it? It is water-based. Can I just add my FO's /EO's and it be safe?
3. As far as percentages go--if something calls for a 6% fragrance load, does that mean I figure what 6% of amount of lotion I'm adding to would be or is it 6% of final product ?
4. I want to set up a store on Etsy but wonder how I get paid. I'm having to borrow a credit card (from same friend mentioned above) to keep on file there and don't want things charged to her. How does all that work?
Guess that's enough ??? for now, but I'm sure to post more later. Thanks in advance for all your help. I'm already an addict to SMF and excited to be a part of the family.
