[@abbymayer6300]

Hey Charmeas, I love all your videos! I found you the other day when I was looking for product photography tips and have since watched a bunch of your stuff. I am an independent massage therapist with interests in photography and making personal care items, so your channel is right up my alley. I have been thinking of selling soap/candles/etc in my practice and I have a question regarding taxes, which I thought you may have an answer for considering you have had both service and product based businesses and seem to be very business savvy! I assume I would be required to collect sales tax from the customer for products, but how would that effect my quarterly tax filing and being able to write off cost of supplies? Can all my financials co-mingle, or would it have to be two separate things under the same umbrella business name? Sorry for the boring question haha...

[@charmedhandmade]

Hi Abby! Thank you for watching my videos! Admittedly, I am not great with tax information. I will be hiring help in January just to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Thankyou ❤❤❤

[@silkemueller1391]

have you one that decribes the label regulationw for soaps?

[@shamekagray5143]

Any info on the best naic code use for hair oil companies?

[@karencanda4839]

Wow! Thanks for all the information. What do I do if I can’t fit the ingredients on the product. Can I put a card with the ingredients in with the smaller items like lip gloss and small tins of creams? Thanks

[@charmedhandmade]

It looks like, to be FDA compliant, you will either need to make it fit on the product or have the product in a box with all of the info on it.

[@karencanda4839]

@@charmedhandmade Thank you so much! You are an inspiration.

[@brooklynnyorktv]

Can you tell me about off-package ingredient declarations

[@biancawalker5363]

Hey love. for the Mica powder do i have to state each color i used? or can i just put mica, titanium, iron oxide?

[@charmedhandmade]

It is my understanding that you need to put the full make-up of the mica so the Brambleberry Raspberry Mica's inci name would be "Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Manganese Violet (CI 77742)" and I just took that off of their website. TKB Trading labels theirs the same.

hey love this is great Information makes it so much easier. What if the name of the contents horizontal ?

[@charmedhandmade]

Hey! I haven't been able to find anything specifying whether the contents need to be displayed vertically or horizontally. I would just be sure that the contents appear "with prominence and conspicuousness so that it is likely to be read and understood (read with ease) by ordinary individuals under normal conditions of purchase. The letters must not be obscured by design, vignettes, background or crowding."

[@oaivpeolgnhp]

can my ingredients and warning label be on the front of the product? Thats how they are already so I just want to avoid redoing it.

[@K1F1L]

Does the rule for address apply to lip balms? I never see anyone putting their address on their lip balms on Etsy or any farmers market I’ve been to

I’m still a little confused about the address section ? What does it mean by if it’s online or print? I’d be using my actual home for my business address, so I’m not sure how that works. Thank you in advance✨

[@crystalwright642]

Hi! Thank you so much for the informative video. I would to add rosehip oil to my products, but after some research, I realized it only has a shelf life of 4 months. So my questions is, if I add it, and even though the other ingredients in my product have a shelf life of 1 year, do I need to put on the label that shelf life is only 4 months since that's the life of the rosehip?

Thank you so much. I have a question about the address. Does the address have to be registered with a business entity, I.e, LLC, in order to be considered a business address? Like if I don't have an LLC yet, and I decide to get a virtual address, can that address be used as my business address eventhough I have not registered it with an LLC yet.

Thank you so much for your super helpful video and all links that you provide !!!! I appreciate your time and your information, Charmeas. I have a question, i appreciate if you can help us, For selling bath bomb, do I need to register with FDA or do any test to get FDA approve before selling? I read the info in the website you provide but i am still very confused. I hope you can give me an answer since you are also selling bath bomb on your shop. My sister and I makes bath bomb for fun but want to sell some of it on local Flea market to get some money while going to college. Thank you very much

[@charmedhandmade]

From my understanding, bath bombs are considered cosmetics by the FDA so they do have to follow the FDA regulations in the links I provided but do not need FDA approval before going to market with the exception of color additives. I do my own testing over several months with different skin types to be sure my products are safe. I'm no expert so if you'd like a definite answer, I would recommend getting in contact with them

[@keyandrialaster7382]

For the shelf life, how will that be determined as a whole if some ingredients has different shelf lives?

[@goddessscent914]

The shelf life of your whole product would be equal to the ingredient with the shortest shelf life thats in that product....so of you have several ingredients with a 12 month shelf life but one ingredient has a shelf life of 6 months then the shelf life of your product would be 6 months...hope I was able to help

[@Blackchiney339]

Because alot of ppl stealing there ingredients... I personally want to strt my own hair care line and am thinking really hard about whether I should put the ingredients on it or not..

[@illegallygorguz]

@@Blackchiney339 the only problem with this is lawsuits. If someone is allergic to an ingredient you’re not listing you could face hella fines. It’s not worth it. Thieves are everywhere but they’ll never be you. Most people that copy aren’t passionate and do not last long in the business.

[@charmedhandmade]

I’m not quite sure why other people don’t put their ingredients. Even if it’s because people steal ingredients, they don’t have the recipe to know the amount of each ingredient. Technically the only thing you don’t have to put ingredients on is soap but I still put the ingredients on.

[@pr1nc3ssqu1arra6]

If all your ingredients are organic with no chemicals added we don't need to have the warning label added? Double checking.

[@charmedhandmade]

I honestly do not know for sure. I know that certain essential oils aren't good for pregnant women so even though it could be organic and considered all natural, I may put that on the warning label. I would consult the FDA site for more info on that

[@navyjohnes]

They, the FDA just quoted me $1,995.00 per label

[@charmedhandmade]

I'm not sure what you mean, for what?

[@navyjohnes]

@@charmedhandmade I make natural baths from fresh herbs. I contacted the FDA to question if there is any specific wording, or disclaimers... required on the label.. I also noted that it will not be for human consumption (just saying because ya never know with ppl) I was offered the option to have them create the label for the price as referenced. The price quoted was per label.... I would understand if it was a batch print.

[@charmedhandmade]

I would just make them myself following their guidelines

[@navyjohnes]

@@charmedhandmade Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was a joke or what??? The representative kept emailing me regarding the label... She called once, I returned her call...she never responded.
