Hello!
I have a question about what I can and cannot do to describe my soap while selling (mostly on Etsy).
I have formulated a few different recipes: one for winter/dry skin, one that is more cleansing, one that is well balanced, and one that is for sensitive skin. I am not sure how to get this point across on etsy though. I know making cosmetic claims is a big no no for soap, so is there a way to get around that?
My initial idea was to name each one ("Recipe 1" etc), and then in my shop information describe the uses/benefits of each recipe (Recipe 1 is a high moisturizing bar, great for dry skin and winter months), but I wasn't sure if that is allowed. I was wondering if I could possible get around this by making creative names for each recipe, instead of just numerical (although for some reason I like the numerical better), something like long cold winter soap, dirty hands scrubbing soap, etc...
I guess I'm not sure at what point it is considered a cosmetic claim versus just the function of the soap.
Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated? Thank you!
