Beauty and Cosmetics Fulfillment for Premium Brands
Cold storage, batch tracking, and retail compliance for beauty brands
AMZ Prep handles fulfillment for cosmetics, skincare, hair care, and beauty brands selling on DTC, Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, and Costco. The same warehouses prep your Amazon FBA inventory, ship your Shopify orders, and run EDI for retail. Climate control is standard. Batch and expiry tracking is built in.
Beauty’s top brands trust AMZ Prep to ship fast, stay compliant, and look good doing it.
Why beauty brands move to AMZ Prep
Most 3PLs treat beauty products as standard SKUs. The result is melted lipstick in July, expired stock that ships anyway, and Sephora chargebacks for compliance failures.
AMZ Prep was built around regulated and temperature-sensitive products. Climate control runs in every cosmetics-handling facility. Batch and expiry tracking is baked into the warehouse management system. Sephora and Ulta compliance is handled by a dedicated retail team.
Built for beauty - engineered for everywhere
From Amazon Prime to Ulta shelves, we fulfill beauty and cosmetics products across every channel – DTC fulfillment, retail, and marketplaces from one or multiple locations, whatever suits your brand best.
Climate-controlled cosmetics storage
Every cosmetics-handling facility runs 50°F to 70°F controlled environments. Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring with automated alerts. Backup power keeps inventory protected during outages.
Batch, lot, and expiry tracking
Every shipment is tracked by batch number and expiration date. FEFO (first-expiry-first-out) routing prevents expired stock from shipping. Recall traceability is one query away.
Retail compliance for Sephora, Ulta, Costco
EDI integration for major beauty retailers. Routing guides, ASN generation, carton labeling, and palletization built into the standard workflow. No manual retail compliance work.
