Not sure if they would be picky with proper binomial names or not.

Well, I actually bought a book today that lists INCI names properly for carrier oils, butters and other ingredients. So YAY!

Do you HAVE to use binomial names? I'm a chemist and I know alot of people don't know the scientific names of things. So to me it seems silly to write it as the scientific name. I feel that leaves the consumer uninformed. Can I just write "shea butter" or do I need to write "Butyrospermum parkii"? I'm new to selling soaps so I want to know how to properly label things!

Immigration was bad like that too LOL :lol:

More frustrating though, since it took us 16 months and cost almost $10,000. Any mistakes could have sent us back to the beginning! Someone needs to sit down with all of these government agencies and introduce the right hand to the left hand, and get them communicating! :roll:
