Hi there! I am trying to figure out if Airtable will work for me and how to most efficiently set up my base.
I formulate skincare recipes and need to setup a database of ingredients and their properties.
For example in my recipes I use various:
- Oils
- Butters
- Essential Oils etc…
I have some general properties that will fit all ingredients like (anti-aging, comedogenic, non-comedogenic) but I also have some things I want to track that are specific to certain ingredient categories.
So each category above has general and specific properties that I need to track.
What is the best way to do this?
Should each category have a table? re: one for Oils, Butters, Essential Oils?
Could I then search through all of my tables if I am looking for anti-aging ingredients specifically?
Or should I just have one main table and somehow track these specific properties within that one table?
How would I do that?
I would love any help and direction, thank you!
