In the state of the economic environment in 2022, the revenue of the beauty giant Ultra Beauty and the LVMH of Sephora's parent company still hit a new high. However, these two vertical fields have not made Amazon's "posture".

Amazon's 11 categories of cosmetic and personal care in the United States are in obvious online leading positions, and they are still expanding market share. According to the recent e-commerce data released by Euromonitor International, compared with 2022, in the second quarter of 2023, except for hair removal products, Amazon has a considerable market share in all cosmetic categories.
