Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 I would, if there were any herbs in it It is all natural tho. I actually was trying to sell it as a cosmetic. But even for cosmetics like lip balm, you have to follow the same procedures according to the government. The only thing you can sell without going though the government rigamarole is soap. And you can't even say your soap has healing properties, or will clear up acne, etc to sell it as " soap " . The main thing is if someone uses it in the wrong manner, gets hurt and sues you, it's good to have all the bases covered. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid, but since my father was a dr, I've seen malpractice suits (he won them, he did nothing wrong), and I have seen how the lawyers go after every nit picky thing. I did a lot of research on what I needed to do to mass market this salve. Someday I may get production going and market it properly, we've talked about it many times, but right now, I have many more things on my plate. I will sell it to friends and by word of mouth.
