If you’re a handcrafted soap or cosmetics maker, you already know that labeling is more than just design. It’s legal. It’s marketing. And it can be complicated. That’s why I created Master Your Labeling—a monthly membership designed to help you label your products legally, clearly, and confidently, without breaking the bank.
This program gives you the training, tools, and personal support you need to stop second-guessing and start labeling with clarity and peace of mind.
Why a Membership?
After more than 20 years of helping small business owners navigate cosmetic labeling regulations, I’ve seen firsthand how confusing and overwhelming the process can be. Most people just want to get it right—but the legal language is complicated, the rules aren’t always obvious, and the stakes can feel pretty high.
On top of all that, it’s ongoing.
As a small business owner you have to deal with labels, marketing, maintaining a website, social media posting and who knows what else. The legal stuff doesn’t present itself all at once … it’s a bit here and a bit there. The questions don’t come up all at once – they come up one at a time, depending on what you’re doing at the time.
- ... Can I put that statement on my label?
- … Is that wording okay for my product description?
- ... How are the net contents supposed to be stated?
- …. What’s the right name for this ingredient?
- …. How the heck can I make this all fit?
- …. I’ve been staring at this for hours – does it look all right?
Where do you go for answers when you need them? Compliance with the regulations doesn’t work on an “everybody said it was okay” or a best-guess basis.
I built MASTER YOUR LABELING as a way to fill in that gap. To create an easy way for you can get answers to your questions quickly, when you need them, and be sure that they are correct.
I’ve priced this membership at just $37/month, because I want it to be accessible — even for makers who are just getting started. It’s all inclusive – no complicated levels or tiers; you have immediate access to everything when you join. And there’s no contract; you can cancel at any time.
Key Membership Benefits
Weekly Live Q+A Coaching Calls
Every week, I host a live Q&A session where members can bring their questions—no matter how big or small. Maybe you’re unsure whether your ingredient list is in the right order, or you’re stuck on what you’re allowed to say about a product’s benefits.
Bring your question to the call, and I’ll walk you through the answer so you can move forward with clarity. And if you can’t make it live? No problem—replays are always available.
Twice-Monthly Label Reviews (a.k.a. “Hot Seats”)
Twice a month, I hold live sessions where members can submit their labels to be reviewed in real time. I go through each one, give specific feedback, and help you improve both the compliance and communication aspects of your design.
There’s no limit—you can submit as many labels as you like during your membership. And even if you don’t have a label to submit that week, you’ll learn a ton from seeing what others are working on.
Private Facebook Group
You’ll also get access to our members-only Facebook group — a place where you can ask questions, get feedback in between Q+A Zoom calls (or instead of them if you can’t attend). I’m in there regularly (at least once a day), answering questions and offering guidance.
Whether you’re stuck on a label, trying to interpret a regulation, or just want a second opinion, this is your safe and supportive space to ask.
A Step-by-Step Labeling Curriculum
Inside the membership, I’m creating a detailed training course that will you through every part of a compliant label. It covers things like:
- Choosing the right product name (and avoiding risky ones)
- Placing the net contents in the right format and location
- Creating correct ingredient declarations, including botanical names and INCI terminology
- Understanding font size and layout rules
- Knowing when and how to include warnings
- Writing marketing text that is both persuasive and legally safe
You can go at your own pace and get help when you need it.
Resource Library
We’re also growing a resource library, which contains tools and materials to help you along. Immediately on joining you’ll have access to the first 4 bonuses:
- Label Design Planner: A fill-in-the-blanks template you can use to sketch your label layout before you go to print.
- Label Verification Checklist: Make sure every required element is on your label (in the right way and the right place).
- “Acceptable Words” List: A cheat sheet of persuasive terms that are safe to use (and won’t trigger regulatory trouble).
- Safety Substantiation Worksheet: Helps you document ingredient and product safety for MoCRA compliance.
In addition, you’ll have access to recordings of all of the Q+A Zoom calls and Label Review calls – each with a list of the questions and topics covered, so you can find what interests you.
