As a professional soapmaker for the past 19 years, I wouldn’t dare sell a product or even give it away w/o a proper preservative system. I was a massage therapist for years and started making my own lotions/creams/oils to use on my clients and that turned into a full blown soaping business. I would never, ever sell anything to anyone w/o insurance. Thank you for touching on this subject so bluntly.

Thanks 4 taking time 2 video this product safety info. I try 2 keep abreast of the laws, when making my goods. But, I always keep an open mind n heart 4 other info I may not have heard yet. Even if u may know the laws it never hurts 2 hear a message again. U never know what new prospective or things u may learn. So, just be open n take it a step further study product safety 4 yourself.

Thank you!

Oh my goodness THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. There are a lot of videos out there and you have people just thinking "Oh well I'm just going to throw some things together and do a Vlog about how I made all this money: yet you don't hear them any mention of taxes or the safety of their products.💯💯💯

Okay so how would you know how much to charge customers for sales tax? Does that depend on your state and whatever percentage they require? Also do you need permission or a permit to sell in a different state if so how does that work and do you have to pay addition taxes for that?

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions of preservatives we could use ?

That greatly depends on the type of preservative you're using and the exact ingredients and amounts of each within the recipe. I'd recommend doing some research on product formulations and safety recommendations.

What about a product such as egyptian magic cream? They state that there's no preservatives but all those bee derived products are renowned as natural preservatives and so many other characteristics

can you talk more about the color additives part? does this mean no coloration outside of natural sources (spirinula for blue for example)?

Would I be able to list all that in the description box before they purchase? Instead of on the container because I don’t know how to make labels 😭

From what I understand, ingredients have to be on the container, but the box is optional. Full disclosure, it's been quite a while since I've looked at the regulations, so be sure you do your research on this, as I'm not 100% certain.

What about salts, without adding water? Salt can melt and become moist. Would we still need preservative in a Salt Scrub?

@tipzbylexx

Pretty sure you would still need to add preservative because it is used in the shower so after putting your hand in and out of the jar it would be contaminated with water. I just made and jarred so many scrubs and just found that out so now i have to remake them all😵‍💫

That will depend on your ingredients. A general rule is that if you use any water-based ingredient you will need a preservative, but there are some exceptions.

@tararose3684

most salt scrubs are anhydrous so technically wouldn't need a preservative, but most people use use salt scrubs in the shower so they gather water and are susceptible to mold. So if it's something people are going to use near water, I'd put in a preservative.

There’s a lot of debate about the quality of essential oils that say “Do not ingest.” I think it has more to do with lot of companies not wanting to take the risk by not stating that on the label. Because even though natural...they aren’t all safe to ingest. Like wintergreen. And they are so concentrated so they can be toxic if not knowing exactly how much is safe for a specific oil

Thank you… although my business in making Soap in not in USA nevertheless I have learned a lot from you … thank you.

I would look for a small business lawyer who specialize in product liability. You may be able to find someone locally to you depending on your area or get a tele-consult on the matter. I would get everything put together, your planned descriptions and name, labels, etc. and have them ready before the consult so you can present everything as is and they can give you feedback on any legal issues. You can also get recommendations on verbiage for any marketing and company presence docs.
