Read the guideWhat you'll get
FDA's overview of what a body-care label must show: the product name and what it is for, net quantity on the front panel, the name and place of business of the firm marketing it, an ingredient list in descending order, and any required warnings. It also explains how a product that claims to treat or prevent a condition becomes a drug as well as a cosmetic, which changes your obligations, so read it before you print labels or write claims.
Do this week
Draw your label's front and information panels, add each element the page requires, and rewrite any claim that says your product treats or prevents a condition.
