You can also create custom fields of the table "item" and they will be displayed on the product page. Both of these options are available in the Business edition of HikaShop.

I went into Display -> Custom Fields and I added two textarea fields, "Ingredients" and "Beauty Tips" in the "item" table. After doing so, I went to edit one of my existing products . . . I expected there to see "Ingredients" and "Beauty Tips" input boxes on the page, but no such luck . . . I have "Front-end", "Back-end Form", "Back-end Listing" all enabled . . . what am I doing wrong?

"product" custom fields will be display in the front-end but editable in the back-end, when editing a product. You can't access to the "item" custom field in product edition page in the backend.
