There are a number of people who sell formulas, but I think many of them include the caveat that you are buying contingent on not making the product for sale. I don't know how they'd enforce that, but I would want to use the formula as a springboard anyway, and change it to make it mine. I think those type of formulas are, by necessity, pretty broadly targeted so that as many people as possible can make them successfully right off the bat and then tailor them to eventually make individualized products once they are more familiar with the process.As [USER=626]@paradisi[/USER] says, even with a base formula, it takes quite a bit of legwork/experimentation to really know what you are doing. I started making lotion in the days before the Etsy recipe formulators, it took over 100 individualized batches (trying many different emulsifiers and ingredient combos) before I settled on the one I liked best, and that was just for me/family/friends, not selling. But I had fun and learned a lot in the process.
