Subpart C--Labeling of Specific Ingredients

 

 Sec. 701.20   Detergent substances, other than soap, intended for use in

           cleansing the body.

 

     (a) In its definition of the term ``cosmetic,'' the Federal Food,

 Drug, and Cosmetic Act specifically excludes soap. The term ``soap'' is

 nowhere defined in the act. In administering the act, the Food and Drug

 Administration interprets the term ``soap'' to apply only to articles

 that meet the following conditions:

     (1) The bulk of the nonvolatile matter in the product consists of an

 alkali salt of fatty acids and the detergent properties of the article

 are due to the alkali-fatty acid compounds; and

     (2) The product is labeled, sold, and represented only as soap.

     (b) Products intended for cleansing the human body and which are not

 ``soap'' as set out in paragraph (a) of this section are ``cosmetics,''

 and accordingly they are subject to the requirements of the act and the

 regulations thereunder. For example, such a product in bar form is

 subject to the requirement, among others, that it shall bear a label

 containing an accurate statement of the weight of the bar in avoirdupois

 pounds and ounces, this statement to be prominently and conspicuously

 displayed so as to be likely to be read under the customary conditions

 of purchase and use.

           labeling.
