Handmade Label Checker

Free label checklists for handmade soap, cosmetic, and candle sellers — built from primary FDA and CPSC sources, not legal advice. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.

Soap & cosmetic label checklist

Answer a few questions to find out whether your bar is regulated as true soap or as an FDA cosmetic, then get the matching label-element checklist.

Candle label checklist

Check your candle label against the one hard federal requirement (lead-free wick) and the well-documented voluntary safety-warning themes.

Label requirements reference

The sourced federal rules and citations behind both checklists, in one place — FDA 21 CFR 701/740, the CPSC true-soap test, and candle safety sourcing.

This site provides general informational checklists, not legal advice. Label requirements can change and may vary by state or marketplace — verify current requirements with the FDA, the CPSC, or a qualified professional before selling a product.
