Since many scents work for both soap and candles, and since many of our suppliers sell supplies for both, it seems like the two go hand-in-hand. But I've read on here that some insurers will not insure for candles.
I have been making soap, lotion, lipbalm for 10+ years and I'm ready to branch into selling. My next step is to buy insurance, and I am wondering if I should go ahead and get insurance to cover candles. I am also wondering of scented wax melts area "loophole" since they don't have a wick and go into a plug-in melting thingie?
I really want to sell stuff and donate 50% of sales to a few charities I have in mind. My goal is to start doing local craft shows, which would have a bonus of getting the charities more public exposure. And also have an online store - waffling between Etsy or building my own. I also want to do subscription boxes. I feel like some of the folks I've been working with on some of the charities would like subscription boxes. They already get Bark box, and that's not cheap!
