Make soap labels, lotion labels and lip balm labels with ingredients, net weight and warnings. The checklist explains when handmade soap counts as a cosmetic and what its label usually needs.
Label checklist
What this kind of label usually includes. Green means you've filled it in.
Not legal advice. The checklist and suggested wording are general information about what labels commonly include. We are not lawyers or legal professionals, and rules vary by state, county and product. Before you sell, confirm your label with your state or local regulator or a qualified attorney.
Before you print
- Print the free alignment test sheet on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet up to a window.
- Always print at 100% / Actual size, not "Fit to page".
- Set the paper type to Labels if your printer has that option.
- Waterproof or kraft label sheets work too, as long as the layout matches.
Questions
Does handmade soap need an ingredient list?
A true soap that is only sold for cleaning is regulated by CPSC and does not need an FDA ingredient list. If you make cosmetic claims like "moisturizing", it is a cosmetic and needs ingredients in order of weight.
Will these labels line up with my printer?
They follow the standard Avery layouts. Print the free alignment test sheet on plain paper first, and always print at 100% or "Actual size", not "Fit to page".

Labeling rules are different in every state (and sometimes every county or city), they depend on exactly what you sell and where you sell it, and they change. Using this maker does not mean your label is legal or complete.
Before you sell, check your label with your state's department of agriculture or health, your local health department, or a qualified attorney. You are responsible for making sure your label is accurate and meets the rules where you live and sell.
