Thanks for sharing all of this research with us! You clearly spent a lot of time working on it.

[@DaintyElfDesigns]

Thank you! THANK YOU!!! I'm looking into making my own soap and you made labeling it quick(10 min is quick), easy and painless. I was going to be doing it all kinds of ways wrong. Kept me on the straight path and honest. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@CandyBredwell]

I can say that I have been following these rules. I have only been a soap maker for a little over a year! I just love your advice and how clearly you stated all the information. I did get a book on proper labeling and that is an invaluable tool in soap making or any kind of product that must be labeled. We all must follow the rules. I agree completely to label all your ingredients even though it is not required, I too would want to know what is in a product that I am going to use. I always label with Lye or Sodium Hydroxide as well as it is part of the ingredients. Well Done Job on this video darling! MAMA B Homemade Soaps and More.

I might have missed it…. But in labeling the ingredients, do we have to actually have to label each dried botanical ingredients???? And if so do we have to disclose percentages??? Or can we label it “Dried Botanicals”??? Thank you for sharing… And thank you in advance… Blessed Be…

[@tashaj4121]

[@ladytigersf]

Thank you so much! Very informative and straight to the point video!

[@nguyenrtv]

hi sorry im alwasy a little bit confused by this but should your soap be "Just soap" or "cosmetic"? I get the different criteria, but what are the pros/cons of choosing one or the other?

[@Wildflowerbreeze23]

Do you know if this information specifically needs to be on the front of the label or can all of the detail be listed on the back?

[@lisaeichblatt2068]

I’m wondering is there certain requirements for certain states??

[@soniathestarr8740]

Hey, what apps did you use to create your label?

[@mainframeonlinegamingtv3189]

You're awesome

[@saadiqah04]

Thank u for ur insightful video!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰😍🥰😇😇Honestly Charmease I HATE PRINTING tho I love how hey look, they r soooooo time consuming !!!!!!! I’ve got to shrink wrap first 🤐😱😱😱🥶50 bars with different scents then do some labels 🏷 when done!! This & packing soaps for sale I enjoyable so PLEEEZaaa do it while ur young & have fun!!!!!

[@johnathansantana2708]

Did you need FDA approval for Micas or anything you used to color soap??

[@lovlisparrow]

Hello, question about the address, if the address is on Etsy, do you have to put it on the soap label?

Hey hey!

[@yahs.girl.amanda]

Liked nope loved it. All of your videos are super amazing. Favorite KZbinr by far. Side note do you ever go to craft shows, flea markets, or anything things like that and set up? Or is yours online based only? I'm debating after I have my baby next month getting things prepped and maybe fall hit a few festivals or something. I'm nervous about Etsy and not having sales.

[@charmedhandmade]

Aw thanks! And yes, before the pandemic I did a lot of pop up shops and sip and shops. I actually took part in my first pop up shop on the first day I opened my Etsy Shop and used the "Sell with Square" option through Etsy to get my first sales.

[@yahs.girl.amanda]

How did it go for you? How much did you take?

[@charmedhandmade]

@@yahs.girl.amanda I only took about 7-10 of each item and it turned out great

[@yahs.girl.amanda]

I'm glad it turned out so good. I have about 5 soaps but trying to get a few more. I did some really awesome tie-dye ones scented with green apple I think is gonna do real good.

[@TRINIGIRLHANNAH]

Can you do one for shampoo bar ?

[@charmedhandmade]

Yep!

Explodium Monoxide!! Nooooo! Aint buying it, nope, double no, triple noooo. 😝😁. lol ty for all the wisdoms. 💚🤙💪

[@Mothernatural888]

What if I do business out of my home. Would I have to put my home address on the label?

[@jeanieranson5221]

I have a question about weighing your products.. soap is pretty easy.. but I may be overthinking this.. but with facial oils and mists..do we weigh bottle and product?? Or weigh bottle then tare it, and just get the weight of the liquid.. hope that makes sense.. 😬. Any advice is most appreciated.. ❤️

[@charmedhandmade]

If you're weighing your oils and mists, you'll want just the weight of the oil/mist, so yes, put the bottle on the scale, tare it, and just weigh the liquid. If this is for putting your net contents, then you'll just need the fluid oz or mL not the weight.

[@deedee9312]

tysm for this vid... i am new and it helped alot!!! your adorable and best of luck in this ever so competitive fun making products!

[@belushiladymomomona]

Nice video 🙂 Do u have to list every ingredient for melt & pour soap?

[@natalieschannel4508]

Hello. Im trying to do an LLC. I have to have a business address. I am trying to see what would be the best option: a virtual address, UPS, Post Office Box although I heard that you cannot use the PO box for the LLC application, but I guess some people are using the post office's street address. I dont know. I was going to go with the virtual address, but can I ship off products at the post office using a virtual address? Thanks.

[@tdw5775]

Thanks for such great information! I am running a home soap business as well, and would like to know if I have to add my home address on the labels? I really don't want my home address exposed. Any advice would be appreciated :) Thanks in advance!

[@charmedhandmade]

I used a virtual business address for mine

[@tdw5775]

@@charmedhandmade Thanks! Did you also use a virtual address for your website, online, etc.? I just want to make sure I'm in compliance.

[@modestmidwestmomma9988]

I have a question that is slightly off topic, yet it’s related to the ingredients and the fact that it’s handmade, do you carry any sort of liability insurance in case someone has a reaction or something and they want to sue you? I have thought about this and was wondering if or how many soap makers may carry insurance? And thank you for this video it was very informative.

[@LolaGenie]

I’m sure if you put your ingredients on the label you won’t have to worry about that.

[@modestmidwestmomma9988]

@@LolaGenie hopefully not, but there are still people out there that will choose to be ignorant and it could end up hurting your business!

[@LolaGenie]

@@modestmidwestmomma9988 true, I’m learning as much as possible

[@charmedhandmade]

I do have Liability insurance. I got it through this company www.handmadeinsurance.com/default.aspx

[@reginajanea1308]

Great vid! What if you’re starting your soap business from home and you don’t want everyone to know your personal address ??

[@themoststineful1]

@ReginaJanae I paid for a virtual address, it’s like a P.O. Box but you are given an actual physical address, that way it looks a lot more professional and yet if for some reason you get a returned product you will still receive it (you just have to go pick it up). There’s a lot of virtual address companies, simply find one close to you if you plan on being able to go pick up mail for returned orders etc. I hope this helps ☺️

[@charmedhandmade]

I use a virtual address as well

[@DuchessArtisanCreations]

I have an address question. What happens if your business is done from home what do you do in that situation?

What if you are just getting started and you don't have a business address, do you just put your home address?
