Check with your municipal government to start regarding business regulations in your area.
Shampoos and conditioners, I believe, are classified as cosmetics and fall under the FDA with respect to labeling and other regulations.

How long have you been making bath and body products? I see by your introductory post that you are new to soap making. My advice is to research and experiment for several months before attempting to sell to the public. You need to learn how to do quality control testing on your products other than soaps to make sure they don't develop mold or bacteria colonies for several months. Check out the FDA site for rules in labeling etc.
yes i am very new i am not trying to sell i know there is a lot of experimentation before i can look or even think about putting a product out for any client, thank you for your concern. Yes i am very very new to this i just love to collect info and have an idea of where i need to go. :-D
