Ingredients lists

layman on the label. full detail on website

This.  While important, scientific terms are meaningless to many.  For example, I would rather see peppermint than Mentha piperita.  I know what the former is but I'd have to look up the latter, which I had to do for this post.

Thanks everyone. We’re tweaking our website and Amazon listing accordingly.

FDA labeling guidelines specify scientific names are to be used.

We list in laymens. We dont want our customers having to google something just to find out its coconut oil.

I'm going with layman also.

How are you knuckleheads ever going to learn anything if everything needs to be dumbed down? If you don't understand what something is then look it up. It's called LEARNING.

Well, I do have a masters degree, but just saying coconut oil instead of Cocos nucifera seems like a logical thing to do. I don't think knowing the scientific name for coconut oil is going open up any career opportunities for me either. It's just soap. A plain list of ingredients is fine with me.

I understand both but definitely prefer layman's terms.

FDA has strict rules, regulations and nomenclature that we manufacturers must follow.  Correct INCI names must be used for each ingredient listing from highest percentage to lowest and anything below 1% can be listed in whatever order you wish.  Soap is not covered by FDA regulations but if an adjective is used to describe the soap like "moisturizing" then FDA regulations of ingredients listing much be followed.  

I feel more comfortable purchasing something that has the proper listings on the product and I am always happy to give customers information about my products that they seek.  Ingredients lists tell you a great deal about a product especially products within certain shaving types of products and the more you know, the easier it is to analyze a potential product and see if a. not only has the right ingredients. b.  has the ingredients in a similar order to products you are familiar with c. has ingredients that are typical for a certain type of product  d. has ingredients that work well for you and cause no reactions!  Ingredients lists that are properly written according to FDA regulations are your friends that save you time and money when you are seeking a product that will work well for you!

^That, many ingredients have "variations" if you will. Aloe Vera for example. We have to list them scientifically.
