My husband asked me if I could put any additive into my lip balm to give it any SPF? I make lip balm just for our family and give out a few as gifts and I have heard you can't claim it to have a certain SPF if you sell it, so this wont be a problem. Do I have to modify my current recipe, or...

I have a customer who approached me about selling her just the lotion so that she could re-fill her bottle. I hadn't thought about it before, but now I was trying to think of the cheapest way to package it. She told me to just put it into a small zip top bag (like those jewelry bags) and that...
