Partnering with an ISO 22716 / GMP-certified cosmetics manufacturer like International Group Nacar (IGN) offers several critical strategic, regulatory, and quality advantages for beauty brands:
Guaranteed Quality & Batch Consistency: GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) enforces rigorous contamination controls, standardized batch records, and sterile cleanroom operations, ensuring every production run meets precise microbiological and physical specifications.
Seamless Regulatory Compliance (EU & UK): GMP certification is mandatory for legal compliance under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and UK cosmetic laws. Operating under GMP simplifies the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), PIF assembly, and CPNP/SCPN portal notifications.
Consumer Trust & Retail Readiness: Major global retailers, pharmacies, and international distributors require verified GMP compliance before stocking any beauty brand, significantly lowering commercial rejection risks.
Risk Reduction & Recall Prevention: Comprehensive tracking from raw material intake to final product release prevents costly formulation errors, active ingredient degradation, and product recalls.
At International Group Nacar, all cosmetic formulation, bulk compounding, filling, and packaging operations strictly adhere to international GMP guidelines, providing beauty brands with audit-proof manufacturing solutions in Turkey for global export.

Our production operations are based in İzmir, Türkiye — home to two dedicated GMP-certified factories and an in-house R&D laboratory. İzmir's position as a major logistics hub provides efficient access to European and Middle Eastern markets.
Our commercial and regulatory presence extends across Europe:
United Kingdom: Nera Solutions Ltd (London) — private label intermediary and UK Responsible Person
European Union: Nerna Europe OÜ (Tallinn, Estonia) — EU Responsible Person and CPNP notification entity
This structure allows us to manage regulatory obligations in both the UK and EU markets directly, without requiring brand owners to appoint separate responsible persons.

Choosing the right contract manufacturer (CM) or private label partner is critical to the safety, compliance, and scalability of a skincare brand. Key considerations include:
Regulatory Compliance & Certifications: Ensure the manufacturer operates under strict ISO 22716 and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines, with direct support for EU/UK cosmetic regulations, CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report), and PIF documentation.
Formulation Expertise & R&D Capabilities: Verify whether the facility has an in-house laboratory capable of custom formulation, reverse engineering, and advanced texture stability (emulsions, active serums, sunscreens, clean beauty).
Testing & Quality Assurance: Look for rigorous internal microbiological testing, challenge tests, stability/shelf-life assessments, and comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) protocols before batch release.
Production Capacity & Flexible MOQs: Evaluate batch-scale flexibility—from low-MOQ pilot batches for emerging brands to high-speed commercial bulk filling and automated packaging.
Intellectual Property & Transparency: Secure clear Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) that protect formula ownership, transparent ingredient sourcing, and predictable lead times.
At International Group Nacar (IGN), we incorporate all these critical benchmarks into our turnkey skincare manufacturing ecosystem in Turkey, offering European and international brands fully compliant, scalable, and audit-ready contract manufacturing solutions.
