Which code does this activity belong in?
Soap and Cleaning Compound Manufacturing covers establishments that produce soaps and cleaning compounds designed to clean surfaces or textiles, along with surface active agents and finishing agents used in textile and leather processing. Toilet Preparation Manufacturing, by contrast, encompasses the preparation and packaging of personal care products such as perfumes, shaving preparations, hair products, face creams, and cosmetic lotions. The distinction rests on function: cleaning compounds are formulated for sanitation and industrial finishing purposes, while toilet preparations serve personal grooming and cosmetic applications.
