Frequently Asked Questions

Essence & Beauty is a wholesale fragrance and beauty supplier based in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. We carry 401 brands — from designer and niche fragrance houses to makeup, skincare, hair and nail care — and supply them to businesses that resell.

Our pricing and minimums are set up for businesses buying to resell. That includes:

• Retail stores, boutiques and beauty supply shops
• Salons, spas and barbershops
• Online stores and marketplace sellers
• Distributors and wholesalers

Send us an account inquiry with your business details, where you sell and the brands you’re interested in. We’ll review it and follow up by WhatsApp, phone or email with any questions and the next steps.

Having these ready makes your inquiry quicker to review:

• Your legal business name and any trading name
• A contact name, email address and phone number
• Your business location and type of business
• Where you sell — a store, your own website or online marketplaces
• The brands or categories you want to stock
• A valid ST-3 Resale Certificate if you plan to purchase tax-free

It depends mostly on how complete your details are. Inquiries that include full business information — and an ST-3 Resale Certificate if you’re buying tax-free — are the quickest to review. If we need anything else, we’ll ask.

We look at the type of business, how and where you sell, and whether what you’re looking for matches what we carry. We may ask follow-up questions or for supporting details before confirming an account.

Pricing depends on the product, quantity and current availability, so we quote it for each order rather than publishing a price list. Send us the products you’re interested in and we’ll share current pricing.

Yes. We source our inventory through established distributors, and we don’t sell counterfeit or replica products.

The brands on our website identify products we carry. Unless a brand relationship is specifically stated, listing a brand doesn’t mean we’re that brand’s authorized distributor or that we’re affiliated with or endorsed by it. All brand names and trademarks belong to their owners.

Not always. Our brand pages show the brands we carry, but stock moves quickly and individual products come and go. Send us your list and we’ll confirm what’s available before you order.

Ask us. Our catalog changes as new stock comes in. Send the brand, product names and quantities you need and we’ll let you know whether we can help.

Tell us which products you’re buying and the details you need, and we’ll share the information we have for those items. What’s available varies by brand and product.

Our minimum wholesale order is $500. When you send your list, we’ll confirm availability and your order total before anything is finalized.

Once your account is set up, send us the products and quantities you want by WhatsApp, phone or email. We’ll confirm availability and pricing, and your order is finalized once you approve the total.

Yes — wholesale prices move with availability and supplier costs. The price we confirm for your order is the price that applies to it.

Wholesale customers who wish to purchase tax-free are required to provide a valid ST-3 Resale Certificate.

Contact us to submit your ST-3 Resale Certificate.

Contact us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to make changes before your order is prepared for shipment, but once an order has shipped it can’t be changed or cancelled.

Shipping depends on the size, weight and destination of your order, so we confirm the method and cost with your order. Delivery estimates come from the carrier and can vary.

When your order ships, we’ll share the tracking details available for the shipment.

Wholesale orders aren’t returnable for a change of mind, and unsold stock can’t be sent back. If something is wrong with your order — a damaged, missing or incorrect item — tell us promptly and we’ll work with you to put it right.

Check your shipment as soon as it arrives, before products are processed or listed, then:

• Keep the box and all packaging
• Photograph the outer box, the shipping label and the affected products
• Contact us with your business name and order details

Products bought wholesale are commonly resold through retail stores, ecommerce websites and online marketplaces. Before you list, make sure you meet the platform’s requirements and any brand restrictions that apply. You’re responsible for how you list, describe and price what you sell.

Amazon decides who can sell certain brands and categories, and many beauty and fragrance brands are restricted. Check the approval requirements in your Seller Central account before ordering for Amazon.

Every order comes with an invoice. Whether Amazon accepts an invoice for an approval request is Amazon’s decision, so we can’t guarantee approval.

Walmart Marketplace reviews sellers and can limit certain brands or categories. Confirm your account and category approvals with Walmart before ordering products you plan to list there.

eBay has its own rules for health and beauty listings, including accurate condition and brand details. Review eBay’s policies for the category you’re selling in before you list.

Whatnot has its own seller approval process and category guidelines. If you sell there, follow Whatnot’s rules for beauty and fragrance and describe every product accurately during your shows.

Most fragrances contain alcohol, so carriers and marketplaces treat them as regulated items for shipping. Check your carrier’s and marketplace’s requirements before shipping fragrance orders.

No. Only a brand can authorize a seller. We provide an invoice with every order, and buying from us doesn’t make you an authorized retailer of any brand — please don’t present our invoices or our name as brand authorization.

Some brands set minimum advertised prices (MAP) or other resale guidelines. Where a brand’s policy applies to a product you sell, you’re expected to follow it.

Let us know which products you’re buying and what you need for your listings. We’ll share the product information we have for those items.

Send a brand partnership inquiry with your brand name, product range, where you’re currently sold and any channel or pricing guidelines you expect resellers to follow. We’ll review it and get back to you if it’s a fit.

Send a supplier inquiry with the brands you carry, a current price list or line sheet, available quantities and how you source your inventory. We work with established suppliers and may ask for documentation that shows where products come from.

Yes. Distributors and wholesalers can apply for an account the same way as any other business customer.

We source through established distributors, don’t sell counterfeit products, and expect our customers to follow brand guidelines and marketplace rules. If you believe a product we supplied is being sold in a way that conflicts with your brand policies, contact us and we’ll look into it.

The more context you give us, the faster we can respond:

• Who you are and the company you represent
• Your website or a link to where you sell
• What you’re proposing or looking for
• Any relevant documents, such as a line sheet or price list
