Private label cosmetic manufacturing is a production model in which Ottoria Kozmetik manufactures the product using its own ready formulas, while the brand name, packaging design and sales rights belong to you. In Turkey this model is also known as "fason" (contract) manufacturing. It lets you bring your own branded product line to market quickly and at a controlled cost, without building your own factory.
How does private label manufacturing work?
- Brief: We define the product type, target audience, product claims, packaging and target cost.
- Product selection: You choose products from our ready ranges.
- Sample approval: Texture, scent, colour and skin feel are approved on samples.
- Packaging and label: You can bring your own packaging and label design. Or we can use our existing packaging and prepare your label with your logo and product details, using compliant copy.
- Documentation: Documents for the product information file, safety assessment and ÜTS notification are prepared.
- Batch production: The approved formula is produced, filled and packed, and batch records are kept.
Who is it for?

Why ready-made formulas?
Working with ready-made formulas shortens time to market and lowers initial costs. We produce only with our own formulas; we do not manufacture with customer-owned formulas or recipes, and we do not offer filling for outside products.
For perfume, cologne, reed diffusers and room sprays, orders start from around 100 units. This does not apply to other products such as soap, care oils, serums and creams; their minimum is set per product and confirmed in the quote.
Regulation and quality
In Turkey, cosmetic products are governed by the Cosmetic Products Regulation published in Official Gazette No. 32184 on 8 May 2023. The regulation is aligned with the EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, whose Article 8 states:
"The manufacture of cosmetic products shall comply with good manufacturing practice with a view to ensuring the objectives of Article 1."
The international guideline for good manufacturing practice in cosmetics is ISO 22716.
