2 Dec 2019Hi there, I am having trouble getting the 6.12B understanding ingredients activity up on my screen. Also can’t print off the sheet with all the indgredient descriptions. Can you help please. Thanks Heather
Penny
3 Dec 2019Hi! 6.12B should now be fixed. Can you confirm which # you’re referring to for the descriptions?

7 Jan 2020Hi there, I just have a question in regards to the assignment 6.12B, I am asking on here as there does not appear to be a question box on the assignment itself, hope that is okay!
My question is when doing the “usage” portion and is it okay for us to include any research we have done ourselves into what each ingredient is used for in the product, not necessarily from the work book?
I hope this is okay to ask!
Cheers,
Kaitlyn
Penny
7 Jan 2020Absolutely, go for it!
