The best starting point is our contact form or a direct email to our commercial team. We ask for a brief overview of your product concept, target market, estimated volumes, and any reference products — this lets us route your enquiry to the right specialist from the outset.

We typically respond to new enquiries within one business day. Detailed project briefs receive a full written response within three to five working days.

International Group Nacar is a vertically integrated cosmetics, skincare and haircare product manufacturer — meaning we handle the entire journey from concept to finished, shelf-ready product under one roof.

Our in-house capabilities include formulation R&D (in-house laboratory, 1,400+ formula library), GMP-certified production across two dedicated factories, stability and challenge testing coordination, regulatory support for EU and UK markets, packaging sourcing and labelling compliance, and export logistics.

Our MOQ varies by product type, formulation complexity, and packaging format. As a general guide:

• White label stock formulas (from our existing library): from 500–1,000 units per SKU

• Custom-developed formulations: typically from 2,000 units, may go up to 5,000 units depending on raw material lot sizes and packaging materials.

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification is the international benchmark for quality systems in cosmetics production. For brand owners, working with a GMP-certified manufacturer means:

• Regulatory readiness: EU Regulation 1223/2009 and UK Cosmetics Regulation require that products be manufactured under GMP conditions (ISO 22716). Your CPSR and PIF documentation will reference the manufacturer's GMP status.

• Batch consistency: Controlled processes, calibrated equipment, and documented SOPs ensure every batch meets specification — critical for brands selling at scale or across multiple markets.

• Traceability: Full raw material traceability from supplier certificate to finished goods batch record, enabling rapid response if a quality issue ever arises.

• Retailer and platform confidence: Major retailers, marketplaces (including Amazon), and distributors routinely request GMP certification as part of onboarding due diligence.

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 a manufacturing partner is one of the most consequential decisions a cosmetic brand makes. Beyond price per unit, the factors that determine long-term success include:

• GMP certification and quality systems — is there a documented QMS, and can they provide certificates on request?

• Formulation capability — do they have in-house R&D, or do they rely on third-party formulators? An in-house lab gives you faster iteration and better IP protection.

• Regulatory knowledge — can they support CPSR preparation, CPNP notification, and labelling compliance for your target markets?

• Reference product experience — have they produced similar product types at your required volume?

• Capacity and lead times — what are realistic timelines from confirmed order to dispatch?

• Raw material sourcing — do they have established supplier relationships, or will you be responsible for procurement?

• Stability and challenge testing — is this conducted in-house, or outsourced?

We recommend requesting a factory audit or virtual facility tour as part of any serious evaluation. IGN welcomes prospective partner visits to our İzmir facilities.

Yes. Regulatory support is embedded in our service model, not offered as an add-on. For products manufactured at IGN and placed on the EU or UK market, we can provide or coordinate:

• Product Information File (PIF) compilation — including formulation documentation, manufacturing records, and stability data

• Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) — coordinated with qualified safety assessors

• CPNP notification — submitted via our EU Responsible Person entity (Nera Europe OÜ, Estonia)

• UK SCPN notification — managed via our UK Responsible Person entity (Nera Solutions Ltd)

Turkey has a well-established cosmetics manufacturing sector, particularly around İzmir and Istanbul. When evaluating Turkish manufacturers, look for:

• GMP certification (ISO 22716) — verify the certificate is current and site-specific, not group-level

• In-house formulation capability, not just toll manufacturing of client-supplied formulas

• Demonstrated experience exporting to your target market (EU, UK, Gulf)

• English-speaking commercial and technical teams for smooth communication throughout the project

• References or existing clients in your product category

International Group Nacar has been active in the cosmetics sector since 1994 and has been manufacturing since 2016. We export to Europe, the UK, and the Middle East, with full English-language support throughout your project lifecycle.
