Labelling & Selling CP & M&P

I wanted to ask a question about selling soap. In the future, if i sell cold process soap, the ingredients label is simple, especially if you are making bastille soap. Its 5 or 6 ingredients you list.

I really like melt & pour too, its amazing for creativity, but on the stephenson website, the ingredients list is massive, and lists around 14 to 20 different ingredients.

So im wondering how you do an ingredients label for selling melt & pour soap, and do you have to list everything. See photos.

Anyhoo, to answer your question, I think yes, you are supposed to list all the ingredients as stated in your list.

I haven't seen that movie.
I wouldn't mind knowing what other people do for their ingredients list for melt & pour.

I don't sell and can't answer your question directly but, there are a few books available on the subject.
Here's the one that I bought just because I wanted to learn.

If you want to sell in the UK your label has has to list all ingredients inc colours fragrance etc. However its worth noting that as you need to have a safety assessment before you can legally sell, the label specifics should be included as part of the assessment. Essentially your assessor will advise whether anything needs to be added or removed.
