Welcome to group!
Soap making is very rewarding and there are a lot of soap makers on this list.
For my soaps, I make what is called a cigar band. It's about 1 1/2 inches wide and wraps around the soap, allowing it to breathe and yet give me a chance to decorate and label my soaps.
I can't vouch for M&P soap but for cold process (soap from scratch) you do not have to put the ingredients on the packaging. For lotions or any other products used on the body, you do. And they need to labeled correctly with the legal names of the ingredients from greatest to the least quantity.
HTH and others may want to jump in here too
