A GMP private-label skincare range launched with EU-ready compliance files

The challenge

The founder had a brand concept and reference products but no manufacturer that would take a first-time brand at a sensible minimum, with the regulatory paperwork needed to sell into the EU and UK.

Our approach

1. 01

   Matched the brief to a GMP-certified lab near İstanbul experienced in natural formulations and first-run brands.

2. 02

   Iterated lab samples over three rounds to hit target textures and price, and sourced packaging locally to cut cost and lead time.

3. 03

   Managed stability testing, the Product Information File (PIF) and CPNP notification so the range was legal to sell on day one.

The result

The full five-SKU range launched with 3,000-unit minimums instead of 10,000, complete compliance files for both markets, and packaging sourced in-country — letting the brand go to market without a large upfront inventory commitment.
