Selling health products from home in Alabama calls for the sales tax license, and suppliers can then accept a resale certificate showing your sales tax account number. If you sell as an independent distributor for a company, ask what tax they collect for you and what you owe yourself. A DBA or LLC is the usual setup for a home-based seller, and health claims should be handled carefully.
Short answer: Selling Products From Home Based Businesses: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the sales tax license, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
The Alabama version of the seller's permit is the sales tax license. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for an Alabama resale certificate. Wholesalers making no retail sales may get a state sales tax certificate of exemption (Form STE-1) instead of a sales tax license. Many Alabama cities and counties levy their own sales taxes, some administered locally, so local registration can be needed too.

The squeak of a spotless window, lemony air, and a van full of buckets waiting for the next doorbell.
Short answer: In Grant, Oklahoma, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a cleaning service, that means a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The Oklahoma version of the seller's permit is the Sales Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a the buyer's Oklahoma sales tax permit plus a signed resale statement. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Oklahoma sellers generally keep a copy of the buyer's sales tax permit to support a sale for resale. Supplies and materials used up while doing the work are normally taxable when bought, because they are consumed in the service and not resold.
Tip: Photograph jobs before and after. Nothing ends a dispute about that one smudge faster than a timestamp.
