Making your soap label work
Handmade soap is usually sold in a paper band or a small box, and the label carries both the brand and the description. Buyers pick soap by scent and by skin type, so those details deserve as much room as the name.
What to write on it
- The soap's name and its scent or key ingredient.
- A short line on what it is good for, like a gentle cleanse.
- The net weight and an ingredient list; check your market's rules for cosmetics.
One tip
Soap bars sweat in humid rooms. A coated or waterproof label stock keeps the print from smudging on the shelf.

- What should a handmade soap label include?
- Product name, brand, net weight, ingredients and any wording your market requires. Many makers add the scent and skin benefits.
- Can I make one label for each scent?
- Yes. Make a design per scent with the same layout and colours varied, and the range will look like a set.
