Private Label Soap: buyer FAQ
Product-specific starting points for the first brief. Final answers depend on the selected formula, pack and destination market.
What is a syndet bar?
A bar made with synthetic detergents rather than soap. It is milder and suits face and sensitive skin.
Why do glycerin bars sweat?
Glycerin attracts moisture from humid air. Wrapping and storage advice reduce this.
Can I add clay or botanicals?
Yes, clays, oats and plant powders are common.
Is soap a cosmetic?
In the US, true soap with only cleansing claims may fall under different rules; we review claims.
What sizes are common for soap?
Common fills are 80 / 100 / 120 g. The final size is agreed together with packaging and your target retail price.
Which packaging works for soap?
Typical options are box, wrap, paper band. Formula and component are tested together before artwork is approved.
