If you want to sell beauty products, start with a letter of authorization from the brand. Many many cosmetic brands do not want Amazon sellers.
Start there -- find out who their authorized distributors are.
Then decide if you want to go forward.

This @Seller_XTBahAMDtuWvR! Otherwise Amazon will confiscate and destroy any units you send to FBA.

STOP!!!! Being ungated by Amazon is not the ONLY necessary permission you need to sell on Amazon. My guess is that you have not watched any videos in the Amazon University. These are FREE videos that will give you the education to sell on Amazon BEFORE you invest in any product!!! If you even attempt to sell a BRAND on Amazon without the legal written authorization from the BRAND (not supplier) the BRAND giving you authorization to distribute/sell that BRAND on Amazon, Amazon will deactivate your account and you will NEVER be allowed to sell on Amazon again. Being ungated by Amazon does not mean you are authorized to sell that BRAND. Another question....Where are you getting the product? Are you getting it from a RETAIL source or a WHOLESALE source? Do you have an INVOICE or a RECEIPT from the purchase of that product????These are very important questions.......

Hello @Seller_XTBahAMDtuWvR- and thanks for the post!
It is true that certain categories require approval to list within, and that requirements may vary by category. Many brands may also require that you provided invoices from their authorized distributors and a letter of authorization from the brand directly to list their products. This ensures that the products are authentic and to protect the brand. You may want to review this recent forums post on the topic!
Also relevant are these Seller University videos on invoice requirements and sourcing products to sell, which are worth the watch if you haven't done so!
I hope this information is helpful, but please let me know any questions.
Thanks,
Danny
