Sharon Gnatt Epel replied to the discussion 'How Adding Pomegranate Seed Oil to your Formulations Can Increase Health and Beauty Benefits'"Great choice, Sarah.
I import my pomegranate oil directly from growers in Israel and Turkey because I insist on pure & organic and I have been underwhelmed by the quality of the oil I found elsewhere.
I can forward my supplier's…"
Sharon Gnatt Epel replied to the discussion 'Are You Focusing Too Much On What Your Products Don't Contain?'"I focus on the benefits of using La Ishá Skin Care and the strength of our ingredients, but because my products are used by specialty groups such as the breast cancer survivor community where purity of ingredients is a major concern, I also…"

Sharon Gnatt Epel left a comment for Liona shareing"Hi Liona,
I can relate. I am still bootstrapping and recently graduated from making my own labels to having them done for me. To answer your question, I think that liability insurance really is pretty important. Think about it: if a customer has a…"

Sharon Gnatt Epel left a comment for Liona shareing"Hi Liona,
I recently came up against the same problem and had to re-do one of my labels after condensing it, because I ran it by my (FDA specialty) attorney and was told that the Latin botanical names are indeed required by law.
I used a "peel…"

- I did have a quick look but I don't remember seeing any photo's just lots stuff that I think could have been said in plain english a bit simpler. I didn't have much time as I had lots of stuff to research. I'll have to look back again befor I go too far in getting the new labels worked on.

I will definatly check into it, since even though my products haven't toxic ingredients and my botanical cleanser is made of food grade ingredients,
I think I may have solved my lable problem. I thought that I would have my tiny product labels as it is now : center company name,(tevana organics) logo below, what it is (remarkable facial oil - next line- Normal Mature), then amt (1/8oz) to the side I have the english common name ingredients,how to use it, address.
What I planned to do is to get glossy laser presentation paper and have the middle section the same (company, logo, what it is, size), but at the side just have the latin and common names (or maybe put them on the back if it looks better.) and how to use it on the front? Cut them out and tape it together like a oversleeve.
Do you think that would be ok and meet the guidelines?

- Aloha Sharon, I've on a very thin shoestring, I've been using publisher to do my labels then printing on full sheets I get from Presslable and then hand cutting them out w/ a exacto knife + ruler. Is there any way that you think I would be able to so something using these inexpensive materials? I will call Krysta tomorrow as well but hoping for something I can do The other question was I was asked about if I had insurance (against liability for reactions) Do you use it and if so how expensive is it for a tiny operation?
