Today I am going to be discussing allergens in both rinse off and leave on products. You can download a copy of our own allergen calculator as mentioned in this video, by visiting our blog page here:
www.sussexsoap.co.uk/blog
The content within this video is all based on our own knowledge and understanding of what is required when scenting soap that you intend to then sell within the UK. Please do your own research as well. It is never a good idea to rely on just one source of information! I may have missed something out or even interpreted something incorrectly, so please, take this as a guide but read up on everything and research for yourself as well!
Today we begin by discussing what the term "allergens" refers to in the cosmetics industry (within the UK and EU) and how to find out what allergens are present in your fragrance or essential oils. We then discuss whether a specific allergen has to be included on your ingredients label (it is all to do with at what level it is present in your recipe). We will then show you how we have created our own allergen calculator so you can create one too or, if you prefer, we will tell you how you can access our own allergen calculator to download and use yourself.
We have tried to cover everything that we think it is useful to know when you are just starting out with a handmade soap and bath / body business but if there is anything else you would like to know, do pop a comment down below!
