Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Master-Minding Group'"Great idea Mary. Think about what kind of businesses you want involved. I think anyone who has an independent business has alot to share and has a good amount of similarity to other Indie businesses. Restricting it to indie businesses might be a…"
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Advice on Marketing and getting sales?'"I think having a regular and repetitive outlet such as a farmers market is great to develop a customer base and email list. Customers will try your product and give you invaluable feedback as well. I enjoy the interaction with customers at my…"
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Chemophobia - why is it so pervasive?'"Michele, there is absolutely no evidence that parabens cause cancer. There are lots of things in breast cancer cells, including water, but that doesn't mean they are linked to cancer. There have been many studies on parabens and it has been…"
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Chemophobia - why is it so pervasive?'"As a chemist I could go on and on about this but I will spare you! But if you have kids in school you may realize that science education in our schools is somewhat lacking. My son of course will take 4 yrs of science in high school, but I think only…"
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Offering Private Labeling...I need some help.'"I will ship gallon, 5 gallon or whatever to a customer and let them do the bottling and labeling themselves. Since I am not a graphic artist I let them worry about that - it lets me do what I love; formulate, without worrying about appearance."
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Preservative challenge testing'"Sheri, I do challenge testing and I charge $500 for it. It is quite involved and you need to have stocks of 5 difference bacterial/fungal strains which is part of the reason for the cost. You won't find it cheaper. But I also do APC and…"
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Testing products for lead, pesticides and contaminants etc...'"I don't know of anyone that specifically tests for those. But like Dawn said, you might try a university lab, or an extension agency. Soil and water is often tested for those contaminants which is why I suggest your local extension agency."
Cindy Jones replied to the discussion 'Running the Numbers before hiring help'"I use contract help that way it allows me to be flexible and hire more or less when I need help. I also don't have to learn how to do payroll etc that way! But yes, it limits me to part time help.

Microbiology and Cosmetics
Many people do not realize that any cosmetic product that is good for your skin is also a good breeding ground for microorganisms; bacteria and fungus. The reason they are called ‘microorganisms’ is because they are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are ‘seen’ by growing them on a petri dish…
