Lightkeeper Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi,Just wondering what the rules are for sample sizes (say 1 oz. sizes of shampoo, lotion, shower gel, etc.) I would think that the same rules would apply for listing ingredients and size. However, I have several sample sizes that I received from various places that I received from hotels and such. Most of them do not list ingredients, and some don't even give the product size. These are from big mfg also, such as Lord & Mayfair.Does anyone know if there are different rules for the really small sizes? Otherwise, I don't know how they can do it.Thanks for your help!

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Check the bottom of the container. Somewhere, it should say "not labeled for retail sale". Meaning it wasn't available in the marketplace, for someone to purchase. It was a courtesy or gift. The only thing that can be sold without ingredient labels and still be in compliance with code regulations is soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightkeeper Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks so much for the answer Mystical. It makes sense, however, on the bottles I have ,it doesn't say that anywhere. I would be selling small little gift bags wholesale, with little sample bottles in them that the person would be giving out to clients, etc. She wouldn't be reselling them. In that case, I could get by with labeling them without the ingredients if it said " Not labeled for retail sale" ? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Simply include a card with all the ingredients listed for each product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentsme Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I always include a separate paper listing "samples ingredients" with small, sample sized items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightkeeper Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Seems like that would be a lot easier than trying to fit all the ingredients on those small bottles & containers. A card, or paper to include in the bag is a great idea. Now that I think of it, that's how it comes when you get gift w/ purchase from Estee Lauder or Clinique, etc.Thanks for the suggestions!
