Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6260) or the full path ("Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Skin Care Tools > Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 6260 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Skin Care Tools > Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 6260, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems
What is the Google product category ID for Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems?
6260. The full path, "Health & Beauty > Personal Care > Cosmetics > Cosmetic Tools > Skin Care Tools > Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems available?
No. Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 6, so 6260 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems sit in the taxonomy?
At level 6, under Skin Care Tools (2958). The chain from the top is Health & Beauty → Personal Care → Cosmetics → Cosmetic Tools → Skin Care Tools → Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems. If your product does not belong under Skin Care Tools, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Skin Care Tools (2958) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Skin Cleansing Brushes & Systems compared with the categories next to it?
