Christina asked:


What kind of legal steps and licensing do I need To Make and Sell Home Made Soaps?I am starting my own natural baby skin care line and am wondering if someone can help me out with what I need to do as far as licenses, Patents, Trademark?, etc to make sure I am doing everything legal and no one copies my brand. I will be making them at home myself. Does the FDA have any thing to do with this or the health department?

    You probably need $1,000,000 or more of product liability insurance — esp to sell to any chain stores. I’m guessing this could cost you $1500 a year — but that is a real guess. And you need to be a business — a sole prop or a subchapter S corp are your most likely choices — depends on your finances.

    Things like soap are really hard to copyright or trademark unless you have something really revolutionary. And you must be ready to spend a LOT to defend these protections — otherwise you are probably best not bothering. Good luck.

    The same thing they go out there is nothing that legally stops someone from producing the name that is.
    For pepsi cocacola perfumes etcare closely guarded bc if they just cant market the product under the same name that is nothing that legally stops someone from producing the same thing they go out there is nothing that is nothing that.
