We have no doubts you will have endless questions for us, here's a helping hand in getting started...
Requesting Brands
How do I request a brand I want to stock?
If you’ve clicked on a product and a black ‘Request Access’ box appears under the quantity, this means you will have to request this brand before purchasing. Simply click on the ‘Request Access’ box and fill in the details required.
I’ve ‘requested’ a brand, how long will it take for a brand to accept or reject me as a Retailer?
Beauty brands have 24 hours to approve retailers, after this period if you have not received an email please contact us at hello@curate-beauty.com.
What happens when a brand accepts my offer?
You will receive an email notification, which will link you back to the site to complete your order. Remember, you will only need to request one product from a brand to enable access to the full product selection. You also will only need to request a brand once to enable buying from this brand moving forward.
What happens if a brand rejects my offer?
The rejection period is three months. If after three months you would like to request the brand again, you can do so.
Will there be an option to stock exclusive brands?
Yes. Exclusives will be available if you opt in to one of our consultancy / marketing packages. For more information on these packages, click here.

Can I sell my products onto third parties such as eBay and Amazon?
No, it is strictly forbidden for any beauty brands bought on Curate Beauty to be sold onto third party websites. If you are working with affiliate websites, approval from beauty brands is required. Penalties will incur if any retailer is found selling on third party sites.
Can I purchase from Curate Beauty if I’m based outside the UK? Yes you can! Shipping, customs, and duties charges will apply.
Will international duties and custom chargers apply?
Orders coming into the UK from an overseas location could require customs clearance. While beauty brands will provide the appropriate documentation on the shipment to encourage clearance, ultimately, the customs agency will inspect the package and decide whether duties or taxes need to be paid based on the order value and impacted product categories. If duties or taxes are owed, you will be contacted by the shipping carrier or the customs agency to arrange direct payment. Please feel free to contact Curate Beauty directly to help provide any required information to clear the package.
