INCI labeling question - sour cream?

[CarolynD]

Can someone tell me the correct way to label a CP soap made with sour cream? None of my INCI lists have that specific ingredient. Would I just consider it "cream" and label it as such?

If your soap is being labeled as "just soap", you don't need to use INCI labeling. If you are labeling it with cosmetic properties (i.e. "moisturizing"), then you do. As for sour cream, you could probably use either "milk" or "cream" because there is no separate INCI term for it.

Thanks. I have a few that will be labeled "scrubby soap", which I figure indicates exfoliation, so they need to be labeled. They're really all just Christmas gifts for close friends and family, so it isn't that big a deal, but I thought I may as well do it right.

I like your thinking!
