> Except products like deodorant are considered health products. Amazon doesn’t just let you easily sell health products, you need to produce invoices, receipts, etc.

I have doubts about this.

It appears to be true. This page describes the categories and there seems to be an approval process to prevent what this article is talking about. https://www.sellerapp.com/blog/amazon-restricted-categories-...

It does link to Amazon's seller central but I don't have an account to see the actual list.

It’s true. Selling in this and a growing list of other categories is gated, every year the rules get stricter.
