I would suggest waterproof or weatherproof labels for your products that may be used with wet hands, like your shampoo. I don't sell but I generally just print my labels on plain paper using the Avery business card template. I place my paper label on my bar soap then shrink wrap the bar.
I have a Hewlett Packard 4-n-1 Deskjet printer. The ink cartridges can be pricey ($41 for a tricolor cartridge) but it prints pretty well. My favorite printer was a Canon that I owed about 10 years ago. It didn't do as much as my Deskjet but the ink cartridges were cheaper.

If you buy a cheap printer, the cost of the printing cartridges will be expensive. I finally bought a tank printer. I believe the savings in ink will soon make up for the higher cost of the printer. I got the
Canon PIXMA G3200 Wireless MegaTank All-In-One Printer from Amazon.com

Labels will be waterproof depending on the paper you print on I guess.. not the ink.

Even though they say waterproof, I always cover my labels with clear label covers or spray them with low odor, clear, spray coating.
