Body care and cosmetics

What you'll get

For body care such as lotions, balms and makeup: FDA's question-and-answer sheet says making cosmetics at home is not against the law, that FDA doesn't license makers or approve most products before sale, and that you stay responsible for safe ingredients and a label with your name and street address, not just a P.O. box or website. It also says natural has no FDA definition and that certain small businesses are exempt from facility registration and product listing, so read it before you order labels.
