If you've bought a White Label Soap Loaf, sliced it into smaller bars, and are now getting ready to add your own label — there are a few things you need to know. This includes both practical steps and legal responsibilities. Here's a clear breakdown of what matters.
1. Product Name
You need to label each slice with a clear product name, e.g. “Lavender Soap” or “Citrus & Mint Handmade Soap”.
2. Ingredients List
INCI format is required (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients). - (can be found on the product label and the website: materials/ingredients)
Include allergenic substances from fragrance/essential oils (e.g. Linalool, Limonene, Citral. (can be found on the product label and the website: materials/ingredients)
3. Weight
State the net weight of the sliced soap, e.g. “Approx. 100g”.
It’s best to weigh each slice after cutting and round conservatively.
4. Batch Number
5. Responsible Person Address
The label must include the name and address of the responsible business (usually the reseller if he wants to be Responsible Person).
This is required under UK and EU cosmetics regulations.
If you’d like AW Aromatics to act as the Responsible Person for your product, your label must include the following information:
AW Aromatics Ltd, Block B Parkwood Business Park, 75 Parkwood Road, Sheffield, S3 8AL
6. Use By / Best Before
Best before date can be found an the soap loaf label.
7. Product Warnings (if applicable)
If there are specific usage instructions or warnings (e.g. “Avoid contact with eyes”), they should be printed on the label..
8. Claims & Marketing
No unproven claims like “heals eczema” or “antibacterial” unless properly tested and authorised.
"Handmade," “Vegan,” and “Cruelty-Free” are fine if true.
