Myth: Soap Labels Aren’t Regulated

So you have been making soap for along time. The people you given it out to....love it\and say that you should sell your soap.  You may have beard that you can put what ever you want on your soap label because is not regulated.  According to Marie Gale that particular myth got started because of the soap exemption in the FDA's definition of  "cosmetic" which is "A product, except soap, intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or alternating the appearance." That maybe true but there are other regulations that apply to labeling soap.  So before you start creating your labels for your soap, I would suggest reading Marie Gale's post called Myth:  Soap Labels Aren't Regulated.
