Makeup and skin care products belong to chemical category in international logistics and transportation. One key reason is the risk and safety measures involved in the chemicals transportation. These goods often require specialized handling and storage conditions, which translates to higher labor and handling fees. 

In addition, the packaging for chemical goods needs to be robust and secure to prevent leaks or spills, thus increasing the packaging costs.

Moreover, chemical goods may require specific transportation routes or methods to comply with regulatory and environmental policies, further adding to the complexity and cost of the route. Import and export taxes for chemical goods can also be higher due to their potentially hazardous nature.

Finally, fluctuations in global oil prices can impact the operational expenses of shipping companies, which are then passed on to customers through higher shipping rates.
