Amazon Offers Pre-Tax Savings on Health and Beauty Products Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days
Shoppers can utilize Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds on a variety of eligible items, including skincare and wellness products, during the early sales event.
Amazon is providing opportunities for consumers to use pre-tax dollars on a selection of health and wellness products, including beauty items, in anticipation of its upcoming Prime Big Deal Days event. These savings can be accessed through Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), allowing shoppers to purchase eligible items at a reduced cost before taxes are applied.
The e-commerce giant has made it easier for customers to identify and purchase these FSA/HSA-eligible goods by marking them clearly on the site and offering a dedicated shopping section. To utilize these funds, consumers can add their FSA or HSA card as a payment method during checkout. If a card is not accepted, individuals may need to contact their FSA provider for further assistance.
Rachel Rouleau, chief compliance officer at Health E-Commerce, explained that an FSA is a tax-advantaged spending account that enables eligible employees to set aside pre-tax money for qualified medical expenses. Purchases can be made directly using an FSA debit card or by paying out-of-pocket and submitting a claim for reimbursement.
Among the featured FSA-eligible deals are items such as First Aid Beauty body lotion, CeraVe’s acne control cleanser, and an LED facial mask. Other notable products include the First Aid Beauty Acne Clearing Pads, which contain salicylic acid to combat breakouts, and the iHealth Track Connected Blood Pressure Control monitor for at-home health tracking. The Auxoliev Red Light LED Facial Mask is also available for purchase, utilizing LED light technology for skin health. Additionally, CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser is highlighted for its effectiveness in addressing breakouts.
For pain relief and comfort, the RENPHO Thermacool 2-in-1 Foot Massager with Heat & Cold settings and Tylenol Extra Strength Acetaminophen Rapid Release Gels are available. Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Body Spray, suitable for ongoing sun protection, and Pataday Once Daily Relief Extra-Strength Allergy Eye Drops are also listed as eligible purchases. For those managing skin conditions, La Roche-Posay Lipikar Eczema Soothing Relief Cream offers targeted relief.
In skincare, Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ provides broad-spectrum protection with a lightweight serum texture. Personal health tracking is also facilitated with the Etekcity Smart Scale, which syncs with an app to monitor body composition beyond just weight.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, often referred to as October Prime Day, is scheduled to take place on October 6 and 7, 2026. This sale offers discounts on a wide range of products, serving as an early opportunity for holiday shopping before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Access to these deals requires an Amazon Prime membership, though a 30-day free trial is available for new subscribers.
