Is my website considered as a YMYL site?

I was wondering if a retail website having "skincare, haircare & bodycare" categories would be considered a YMYL niche? I know health does, obviously, but since this is a different topic, so I asked.

Richard Hearne: Possibly. If it`s related to health there`s a strong chance it will be considered YMYL. If you`re transactional (e-commerce) then also high likelihood you`re YMYL.
Faraz Ahmed: Richard Hearne yes retail website.
Richard Hearne: It`s safe then to assume your site is viewed as YMYL. We just don`t really know if there are different tiers in there, although that is highly likely given that health sites without any transactional abilities are very much MYML.
Faraz Ahmed: Richard Hearne So are you saying blogs informational sites could be very much YMYL in these categories but ecommerce sites maybe not?Is that what you are saying sir?
Kristine Schachinger: Google doesn`t know if your site is your money or your life it does it at the query Ie entity level and e-commerce is considered a your money your life set of entities.
