Can I sell sunscreen on Amazon, and what do I need?

In one line

Yes, once Amazon approves it as an over-the-counter drug. Sunscreen has no page of its own; the same over-the-counter drug rules apply. Every product needs its own NDC (National Drug Code), a Drug Facts label, and, where the law requires it, child-resistant packaging. Selling under your own brand also means getting your own labeler code, the part of the NDC that names your company.

This page covers sunscreen and other topical over-the-counter drugs, such as hand sanitizer. Amazon has no separate page for sunscreen; it follows the same rules as any OTC drug. The free check in the plan confirms which rules apply to yours.

What does that look like for one product?

Say you package a mineral sunscreen under your own brand to sell on Amazon. The product needs the maker's NDC on it, plus your own labeler code since your name is on the label. The listing needs Drug Facts images, and the packaging is child-resistant where the law requires it.

What's the next step?

The plan lists every step for your product in order, with a source for each line. It opens with Amazon and the product type already picked, and you can change either. It's free, with no signup.
