Amazon's Skin Lightening Policy

Amazon has recently updated it’s Skin Lightening Products Program Policy. The new requirements mandate third-party verification based on specific parameters outlined on the Amazon Seller page.

Under Amazon's New Policy, Sellers must work with an approved third-party organization to test, inspect and certify their products. Third party verification validates that products meet regulatory standards, including proper manufacturing and labeling.

Third party verification is essential for Sellers to keep their listings active, as the updated policy aims to improve the safety and quality of these products on the platform.
