What are the legal aspects of selling homemade soaps?
Here is the answer to your next soap making question:
Thankfully since you live in the United States, not many. The legal aspects covered in the course relate to the need in the European Union to have a full toxicology test carried out on all cosmetic products before they are offered for sale.
The same cannot be said for the US, where your only obligation is a moral one, to supply good quality, natural products.
There are however legal limitations over the storage of certain chemicals and Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) is one such chemical, but unless you decide to produce so much soap that you need to store large quantities, this will not be an issue for you either.
