Amazon has emerged as a colossal platform for online sales, offering vast opportunities for vendors across the globe. The cosmetics category, particularly lucrative in the EU and the UK, attracts significant daily searches. This article will guide you on how to sell cosmetics on Amazon, focusing on these region-specific regulations: the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom.
How to Sell Cosmetics on Amazon?
Understanding the requirements is crucial to ensuring consumer safety and maintaining your brand’s reputation, especially when selling in significant markets. In addition to meeting Amazon’s requirements for selling cosmetics, it is essential to comply with specific cosmetic regulations before placing the products in any market, online or not.
In Europe or the UK, all cosmetics are treated equally, but special attention should be paid to not selling cosmetics in restricted subcategories in the US.
The eligibility of the products for the online sale will require compliance with several verifications:
- Valid FDA registration for selling in the US, and compliance with the European Cosmetic Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 for the EU market, as well as the UK Cosmetics Regulation.
- Recent manufacturer invoice (last 180 days).
- Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate.
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)and documents demonstrating product safety.
The Importance of Regulatory Compliance
While FDA registration is crucial for the US market, compliance with the EU and the UK regulations is mandatory for selling in these regions. Your products must meet the standards set out in Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 for the EU and the comparable UK cosmetics regulations post-Brexit, governing the safety, manufacturing, and labelling of cosmetic products.
If Amazon detects that your product listings lack the necessary regulatory information, it may remove your products from the platform. Ensuring compliance not only keeps your products available for sale but also builds trust with your customers.
Cosmetic Regulation Compliance for Market Withdrawal
The FDA’s recent MoCRA regulations and the rigorous cosmetics directives in the EU and the UK are designed to ensure product safety and quality.
