in the first half of 2023, a decrease of$83.8 million 13.2% from in the same period of 2022, which including a decrease of$96.5 million in cosmetic products and$16.3 million in health and nutritional supplements and partially offset by an increase of$16.1 million in household products. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the weighted average unit cost and a decrease in sales volume of cosmetic products and health and nutritional supplements. The weighted average unit cost of cosmetic products decreased from$19.7 million in the first half of 2022 to$4.45 in the first half of 2023, and weighted average unit cost of health and nutritional supplements decreased from$2.94 in the first half of 2022 to$14.05 in the first half of 2023, a decrease of$4.42 68.5% , both decreases mainly due to reduced customers discretionary spendings on premium brands and their preference to low cost and low price as well as necessary household products as compared to the same period of 2022. The health and nutritional supplements sales volume declined the most, with a decrease of15.4% .
Cost of revenues of household products for the first half 2023 increased about67.0% as compared to the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a71.0% increase in weighted average unit cost. The increase in weighted average unit costs for our household products is mainly because we offered and sold more higher unit price products in the first half 2023 than the same period of 2022.

Fulfillment expenses as a percentage of total revenues were$1.8 million 2.3% in the first half of 2023, up from1.7% in the first half of 2022. The increase was mainly due to an increase in warehouse rent by78.6% or as the Company expanded its temporary storage space for new variety of household products at the beginning of 2023 to meet the demands of our customers.$0.3 million
- Marketing expenses primarily consist of targeted online advertising, and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities. Marketing expenses were
