Today we are finally getting to the cosmetic labeling guidelines - never thought I would need so many vids on soap labeling before diving into this one! Below are references for your use; as with everything, go to the source. Also, don't come into my comments section with bullshit misinformation; I expect you to show your work the same way I've shown mine. With peace and love, as Ethan Klein would say.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

My partner made a comment about me being obsessed with your channel a while back (I was binge watching all of your videos 😂) and I explained how packed full of info they are that sometimes I want to watch them twice. Today, I am watching this one, and I hear him from the living room “That’s important to know so you don’t label your soaps incorrectly…” 😂 here I am rolling my eyes that he finally realizes that I’m learning stuff instead of just binge watching for no reason 😂

I am so glad I came across your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Thank you for all the valuable information you provide, not only to business owners, but also to the ones who do this as a hobby! You’re so amazingly down to earth! Best wishes your way!

@bridgetl8363 Год назад

Glad I watched this one, thanks! All I see all day is "YOU CANT MAKE CLAIMS!!!" Yet all I see are claims on every bar of soap I see haha. Been reading fda guidlines, reading and watching other videos, but now I finally understand its ok if you label it correctly per rules of cosmetic labeling. Now I just have to figure out how to convey my items are colored with herbs and botanicals without saying that they are ( rule I wasnt aware of until today :( ) Is this something that can be mentioned on a web page, but left off the label, I wonder??

@denisehaley9271 2 года назад

So... I've come back to this video 3x now because... Just because there's specific labeling Shit I didn't know. This is saved in my library so I can now use the reference links you've listed. Which I GREATLY appreciate. Now I am in the process of correcting all of my "cosmetic" labels for my body butters and scrubs. I figure if I've gone through the expense of registering my business name, carry product liability insurance, I better not be lazy and have incorrect product labeling. Thank you very much for this video, I appreciate your time and work that you put into your channel. Have a fantastic day😘

Now I can refer them for sure to your video, it’s a great information for beginners and advanced soapers 🥰🥰❤️🙏 thank you again for taking the time to share with us!

I love your conversation style, you seem genuine and very knowledgeable. Thank you for these videos. A couple questions, how do you handle herb infused oils, or dried herbs infused into the water, or vegetable purree ..ect.. I make a comfy infused oil I use that gives a wonderful green color. Also when using a fragrance oil from a supplier is it ok just to list 'fragrance oil' or do you need to provide a link to the manufacturer of the fragrance oil? Thank you.

@denisehaley9271 2 года назад

THANK YOU for this video... Some of this I didn't know. Extremely helpful and necessary.

@ruraldustco 2 месяца назад

Coming back to this video because you are my go to for information. 😁 So in conversation within a Facebook group labeling came up. I thought I knew the requirements but now I’m trying to understand again. I do label as a cosmetic just to cover myself but I thought just “soap” was pretty much a free for all as long as it wasn’t misleading. So if it’s a label for just soap, its name, weight, and identifying the product? Also I thought you didn’t have to label at all but then cspc says you do need a label if it’s a hazardous product. What is that according to them…To require labeling, a product must first: be toxic; be corrosive; be an irritant; be a strong sensitizer; be flammable or combustible; or generate pressure through decomposition, heat, or other means. The product must also have the potential to cause substantial personal injury or substantial illness during or as a result of any customary or reasonably foreseeable handling or use, including reasonably foreseeable ingestion by children. I don’t consider soap hazardous but I guess it could be if ingested by a child. So does that mean I do in fact need a label with the basic info?

@MrsSoapAndClay 2 месяца назад

Hey! Good questions, I like the deep thinking. Soap wouldn’t kill you if ingested (see: wash your mouth out with soap generation for anecdotal or the composition of finished soap) so it wouldn’t be considered toxic. So it can still be a naked product with no labels whatsoever. Keep in mind that the new cosmetic guidelines are likely going to include soaps at some point, so that may change in the next few years.

@denisestich8731 2 года назад

Thank you for all of the hard work you went through to get us this information. My question here is: what if the company that sells the mica doesn't have the ingredients or what the mica is made of? ie: contains titanium dioxide, iron oxides, etc... can we just put down mica or how should we add this to our label? I have bought micas from several companies and did not know we had to do a breakdown of the mica as well and I want to make my labels correctly. Thank you.

@MrsSoapAndClay 2 года назад

Hey! Technically if you’re just making soap, no ingredients are required. That said, I would reach out to the company for an ingredient breakdown and look to source a different mica in the future that already has that info on their site. Have fun!

@OfficialLadyDarkSky 2 года назад

hi i'm Ladydarksky aka Mrs. F&J vintage soapery i have a makeup addiction! why do they have so many pretty colours! ack! what if you make a whipped sugar soap like you make should it still go under the cosmetic label? is there a good program for labels? can you use a stamp on the actual soap instead of a label? i use bramble berry for my mica's for myself but the samples don't show the ingrediants list but they do have it on site. i did reach out to the FDA and i was surprised at how helpful they are. :)

@MrsSoapAndClay 2 года назад

I would like, generally, for all soapmakers to follow cosmetic guideline labeling no matter what. That said, you don’t have to with a non cosmetic product. As to whether or not a whipped soap is a cosmetic is really up to how you decide to market it. If you say it’s just meant to clean, then you can keep it as a soap because it’s still primarily comprised of the saponified fatty acids of oils. If you say it exfoliates, then we now have a cosmetic.

@christyh.0073 3 года назад

I have a question, like for bath bombs or shower steamers that are made with a tiny bit of oil, does there need to be a warning ? Such as this product is made with oil, please use caution. (Even though there is poly 80 ) for shower use only. Also a how to use or store, for example with soap, please keep dry so this soap will last longer. Or a steamer: so not place under a direct stream of water… or perhaps : place in back of shower so your steamer will perform better. ?? Just curious.. 🤔🤔

What are the guidelines for labeling a soap as an antibacterial as compared to a cleaning product. What are the steps or hoops a person must go through. What websites provide the requirements, as well are there books on this?

@MrsSoapAndClay 4 месяца назад

Hey! All info can be found at FDA.gov. Additionally, Marie Gale wrote a book for labeling requirements as related to soaps and cosmetics several years ago. She keeps it current and is still active on her website with updated information.

@chrisgilmore4591 3 года назад

Nurture Soap also lists ingredients of mica on their label. They do not rub of like Brambleberry. Would you show a picture of your colorful soap boxes

@krystind43 3 года назад

So now a days with some people not being able to read cursive writing because it’s not taught in schools. What’s your opinion on that when labeling? I honestly didn’t even realize that some younger people can’t read it till I got some younger staff.

@MrsSoapAndClay 3 года назад

Yeah I would stay away from the script fonts - they’re hard to read, for sure. Weirdly, my kid is learning cursive in school this year!

How and where would you list your melt and pour embeds in your ingredient list?

@MrsSoapAndClay 3 года назад

Good question! You’d blow out the ingredients of the melt and pour and generally include it on the bottom of the list as embeds are usually small in size. Or, alternatively you can say “embed ingredients: *insert what the m&p is made of here* after the full cold process ingredients list

@sheilaolson5868 4 месяца назад

Do you use the same soap recipe all the time or do you change your labels all the time to reflect a different soap batter? I’m in Canada and we are required to submit our recipes to health Canada for testing and approval so it makes it hard if you want to swap out one ingredient for another. It’s use the same recipe for every bar or send every recipe in for approval. I’m not even sure yet if there is a cost for submission but I don’t imagine the government does anything for free. 😳🥹

@MrsSoapAndClay 4 месяца назад

I have five staple recipes that are my work horse formulations, and I do the majority of my modifications via lye solution enhancements, clays, etc. All labels get changed if I have to make a substitution for any reason. I imagine we will be required to start submitting our formulations for approval in the US soon!
