Information on mp Labels

[NamaNama]

When I make my labels for my mp soap do I have to say Handmade Glycerin Soap or just Handmade Soap and then include glycerin in the ingredients. I make mp with shea butter base so can I include this in the beginning.

You don't have to say Handmade Glycerin Soap. You don't have to say anything unless you make some kind of claim about your soap, no ingredients even. Does the supplier who carries your soap base have a list of the ingredients in your soap? Just use that and add fragrance to it, or fragrance and color if you use colorants.

As Annie said, I use the ingredients list from the manufacturer, then say fragrance and color. My head is spinning enough from labeling my B&B products.

If you add shea butter to ot you could call it "shea butter soap".

Basically you can call it anything you want as long as you're not making health claims on it. Such as "moisturizes" or "clears acne" or "heals excema" etc.

You should always list all the ingredients, especially with M & P (as some contain mostly detergents) as someone could have a problem or allergy to something in it!!
