I use this and LOVE it! I purchased previously so didn’t use the discount but it’s worth every penny, dollar, cent, etc. In fact, I’m holding onto my PC just to use this software. Would love to transition to a MAC but still need my Soapmaker!

fellow ny soapmakers,
Can you tell me if there are any special county, state permits I need to make soap at home for sales? I know there are cottage laws that allow homebakers to get a permit to sell. Is it the same for soaps and body products?

It’s so great to hear that the Soapmaker’s Guild is supporting the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011. As an influential group in small business cosmetics, it’s great to hear that your concerns have been adressed fully to produce a meaningful, progressive bill which will not hurt small businesses. It says a lot about the good that can come out of the times in which legislators work with people to craft legislation.Thank you all at the Handcrafted Soapmaker’s Guild for supporting this important bill! Let’s hope for a safer future in the cosmetics industry!

Wow, I am quite surprised by this. What about issues with listing all contaminants on the label? How will a small manufacturer know what contaminants are in there? What about the person who adds herbs from their garden to their soap? How will they know what contaminants might be there? This would require testing on their part of their water source and soil. What about giving the EWG authority to determine toxicity of various ingredients? What about cutting off the line of communication between small business and the FDA? What about the concept that everything can be an allergen in the right person? What about . . . . well, we could go on forever about this. Yes, I am surprised at your position.

Thank you for this detailed clarification, Leigh. At a time when many people do not trust our lawmakers and reject the notion of improvement to our government’s flaws, it is refreshing and encouraging to hear of HSMG’s dedication to communication with legislators in Congress towards mutual understanding. I’m excited to see this bill getting the attention it deserves from Congress, voters and business communities.
