Questions about contract cosmetics manufacturing

Contract cosmetics manufacturing is producing a brand's products in a certified third-party facility rather than its own. Formulation, raw material sourcing, production, filling, packaging and regulatory filings sit with the manufacturer, leaving the brand owner free to focus on sales and marketing.

MOQ varies by product type, packaging format and formula complexity — higher for liquids and high-volume categories, lower for dermocosmetic serums. We share current category-level MOQ ranges when we respond to your quote request, within 24 hours.

With an existing formula the process typically runs 8–12 weeks. With formulation from scratch, stability testing and registration included, it can extend to 4–6 months. Stability testing is the single biggest driver of the timeline.

Yes. Our technical team reviews your existing formula for manufacturability and regulatory compliance, and adapts it where needed. Your formula is handled under a confidentiality agreement.

Yes. Responsible technical person assignment, Ministry of Health notification, ÜTS registration, product safety report and SDS preparation, plus trademark and barcode registration are all included. You do not need a separate regulatory consultancy.

We identify packaging and carton options that fit your positioning, then handle sourcing and application. Label and carton graphic design is also within our scope.

You can request samples from our existing formula library. For bespoke formulas developed from scratch, sampling is treated as part of the development process and terms are agreed at the quotation stage.

Yes. We prepare formulation, labelling and documentation to the destination market's regulations, and provide the certificates of analysis and technical files export requires.

All discussions are conducted under a confidentiality agreement. Formulas developed for you are produced only for your brand and are not offered to other clients.

Our facility operates on 4,000 m² of enclosed area in the Ankara Anatolian Organised Industrial Zone. We arrange site visits by appointment — we recommend seeing your manufacturing partner in person.

In contract manufacturing the formula usually belongs to the brand owner or is developed exclusively for them. In private label you select from the manufacturer's tested formula library and the product is made under your brand. Private label is faster and lower risk; contract manufacturing gives a more distinctive product.

No. Formulas developed for you, or supplied by you, are produced only for your brand and are never offered to another client. This is secured contractually.

Yes. We share the batch production plan, update you at critical stages, and you can visit the facility during production by appointment.

Formulas in our library may be offered to more than one brand. If you need the formula to be yours alone, we can adapt an existing one exclusively for you or develop a new one from scratch.

Yes. You can bring your own packaging or have us source it. Packaging you supply is tested for compatibility with the formula before production.

We hold ready formulas across nine categories: hair care, skincare serums and creams, facial care, body care, sun care, dermocosmetics, oral care, foot care and aromatherapy.

Dermocosmetics are cosmetic products containing actives targeted at a specific skin concern, with supported efficacy. Legally both fall under cosmetics regulation; the difference lies in the formulation approach, active levels and usually the sales channel.

Regulation does not require efficacy testing for every product — the safety assessment is what is mandatory. However, if your product carries a specific efficacy claim, that claim must be supported by data.

The pharmacy channel usually asks for technical documents such as the product safety report, certificate of analysis and ingredient list. We prepare these alongside production.

This is set contractually. You can ask for the formula to be exclusively yours, in which case it is never offered to another client. Exclusivity affects commercial terms, so it is discussed at the outset.

Terms for concept work vary with project scope and are agreed at quotation. For projects with a serious volume outlook, concept work is usually treated as part of the process.

Usually two or three. The aim is not to maximise options but to offer meaningfully different directions, so you can see clearly which way you want to go.
