[@breakthelimite]

When labeling my ingredients does it need to be on the bottle or can I simply write them on a tag that’s attached to the bottle ? Thank you for this awesome video.

If I'm using a small bag can I use a tag to label or does it have to be a sticker?

[@chakra1634]

You awesome quick direct and informative thank you

[@SpaceCitySoaps]

Thank you, Marie! Your book has been extremely helpful. Will you be expanding your repertoire to include how a manufacturing area must be set up to meet FDA regulations? Like storage at least 5 inches off the ground, etc etc. I am having trouble finding lights that have cages around the light bulbs!

[@Soaptivated]

I don't see any requirement of caged lightbulbs in the US FDA guidelines. www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocuments/ucm2005190.htm She has two books - Soap & Cosmetic Labeling (of which this video is about,) and Good Manufacturing Practices. Not sure which book you are referring to since I have yet to read her GMP book, though I have it. Where are you getting such information?

[@SpaceCitySoaps]

I mean, I'll follow the fda rules before anyone else's, lol, but that is where I got the whole caged light bulb info.

[@Soaptivated]

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'm pretty busy, but wow. I'm wondering if that inspector was applying some FDA regulations for the production of drugs, given the soaper made drug claims on her products. Drug production requires registration and regular inspections, and she made it clear she's expecting more visits. The cleanliness standards for a squeaky clean lab facility are that which few soap makers can abide by. Thus, the sleeves/cages for light fixtures, I'm guessing.

[@SpaceCitySoaps]

Thank you! Your response makes complete sense! That must have been what was going on, thanks again for clarifying!

For my amazon private label business,can I just list the name and address of my u.s. manufacturer instead of my home address on the packaging?

[@DrDianeThompson]

ToZion509 I’m looking for the answer to this as well

[@monique90me]

If I Private Label My Soap Can I Just Use The Name and Address Of The Manufacturer?

[@sepeira]

What if your business address is your home address. Do u still have to list it in a directory?

[@SoapGuild]

Yes, you do still have to list your address even if it is your home address if you're in the US; the street address listed must be the actual physical location at which the business is located.

Are sugar scrubs Cosmetic's?

[@robyartist1]

Is liquid soap with color & fragrance & glitter considered a cosmetic?

[@LiaToTheSophia]

Robin L soap as long as you don’t say it cleanses or moisturizes isn’t a cosmetic. If you do, it’s a cosmetic

[@justkibby5959]

If it has sulfates or detergents in it, it's considered a cosmetic.

[@qutie424]

Do bath bombs fall under this categorization?

[@SoapGuild]

Yes-bath bombs are considered to be a cosmetic.
