Residential Kitchen Products (was: Scenting Dryer Sheets)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm a VERY new list member (joined last night) but it was only a few weeks

ago that I was researching this to help someone on another list.

 

This is NOT regulated by the FDA. Here are some web pages for reference:

Here's the FDA Link for the question - What is FDA's authority over

cosmetics? http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/qa-cos3.html and, here's the

general cosmetics link - http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-toc.html

 

So ... maybe it's regulated by your state health department. I live in Texas

and there are no licensing regulations for cosmetics manufacture here. The

person I talked to in our state health department's licensing division said

that if a complaint were filed, the health department reserves the right to

inspect your facility for cleanliness but it's ok for the facility to be a

home kitchen. The other list member was also going to check with her county

health and city health departments because she lives in a very populated

area. My county has no such regs and I'm outside city limits.

 

BTW ... this has no bearing on how you must label your products.
