Sellers who open a store on Amazon should know that the platform has relatively strict controls on the categories that can be sold. Today, let’s learn about Amazon’s cosmetics sales policy and see what are the requirements?

The European Union has various regulations for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, including specific labeling and packaging requirements. Only some regulations are harmonized across the EU.

For example, the same product may be sold directly in some EU member states, while in others it may only be sold in pharmacies.

Amazon divides beauty products into the following subcategories:

1. Skin care

2. Cosmetics

3. Makeup

4. Hair care

5. Oral care

6. Perfume

7. Tools and brushes

8. Men’s Grooming Products

9. Beauty luxury

10. Salon & Spa

11. Professional Skin Care (professional skin care)

These special subcategories help buyers and sellers identify what they are buying or selling and make the search process easier for users.

Amazon has very strict requirements and restrictions for selling beauty products. In order to sell cosmetics on Amazon, sellers must meet the following requirements:

1. It must be ensured that cosmetics are sealed under the original manufacturer's packaging.

2. Make sure the product is brand new and unused.

3. The manufacturer or distributor should clearly display the identification code on the cosmetic packaging, that is, the matrix code, batch number and serial number.

4. Label information required on the product:

On cosmetic labels and detailed information pages, the following data should be marked in English:

(1) Product name

(2) The purpose of the product

(3) The content of cosmetics can be weight, measurement, and counting.

(4) Ingredient list

(5) Name and address of manufacturer, packer or distributor

(6) Any necessary label warnings

(7) Cosmetic labels and detail pages must not, unless approved, state that the product cures, alleviates, treats, or prevents human disease.

(8) If cosmetics are not FDA-approved or use the FDA logo, be sure not to state that they are "FDA Approved."

5. Amazon bans cosmetics.

The above is about the sales policy of selling cosmetics on Amazon. There are still very strict requirements for this Amazon platform. If you want to sell cosmetics, you need to meet these requirements.
