My Long Response written because my first response was very negative. I waited a bit and read what others wrote and thought I'd chime in:

1. I appreciate your asking for opinions.

2. Being a productive member of the community, as you suggest, will be noticed and appreciated in short order. This builds trust. Then you can "get away" with all kinds of things.

But note: there has been a lot of cooking food here. People used to share recipes and pictures of food (including the loot from dumpster diving). What you are doing and your passion for it might be seen as cooking.

3. If your revamped website can include writing, links, or blogs by you or others on ways to be more environmentally responsible in cosmetics and cleaning and if you post scientifically-based articles which might incidentally mention your products, that could be seen as a contribution. Maybe you can change your name to be the goto person for that sort of thing, the way minimum_wage is the goto person for living on minimum wage.

A lot of that goto stuff happens in personal messages. People have read the kind of things I've written in the past and write me questions about sex and love -- although I imagine insomniasexx (that sex you don't sleep through) gets more.

4. One thing that's entirely missing from this site is commercialism. People are often so grateful to the team that they want to make contributions to offset the costs of keeping the site running. I'm not even sure the swag (see tiny print at bottom) makes any money to support the site. insomniasexx might know the answer to that. People give stuff away here. We mail each other things. We sometimes support writers by downloading or buying their books.

So welcome to the community. We like you so far, but get some sleep.
