Label question about colorants

[diamondk]

How many of you put just colorant or color on your label for your soaps? I have been putting the micas and oxides on there but with the select shades the inci list is huge. Any help would be appreciatged. TIA

Since soap labeling is not regulated, I just say "colorant" when using SS.

I follow cosmetic labeling for my soaps, and since the FDA is so specific on putting all colorant ingredients on a label (because so many people are allergic to different colorants), I always put the full name. The only product I use FD&C colorants in are my bath bombs, and you're right, the label gets long, fast. You can shorten it somewhat - Green 3, Yellow 33, Red 22.... those are legal names I believe.

Here is example of the inci list for aquamarine - Distilled Water - Green 5 - Diazolidinyl Urea Iodopropynl Butylcarbamate

I have been putting all of this on my label and I had someone ask me about it. Should I go ahead and put of the above on my label? TIA

I know who that someone was. I thought there was a catch-all three or four word line that could be used. No? Bunny? Shutter?

I have noticed on different brands that you can get from stores and from direct sales company that they list the colors similar or like this after the rest of the ingredients:

May Contain D&C Violet #2, FD&C Yellow #5, D&C Green #5, D&C Red #33, FD&C Red #40

I think I read somewhere that any ingredient less than 10% did not need to be listed. Does anyone know if this is true?
