Purpose-Built for International Beauty Brands
Rowe Cosmetics operates an advanced manufacturing and laboratory complex in Esenyurt, Istanbul, dedicated entirely to B2B clients. Operating strictly as a contract and private label partner, we never market retail brands of our own. Every process, compounding vessel, and filling line is tuned to bring your vision to life under the highest standards of international manufacturing integrity.
By bringing cosmetic formulation, pilot batch testing, mass production, high-speed automated packaging, quality assurance, and export logistics together under one roof, we eliminate subcontractor delays and maintain complete batch traceability from raw material delivery to the final container seal.
High-Throughput Filling & Multi-Format Packaging
Our modern compounding halls and automated packaging lines accommodate a wide spectrum of product viscosities and formats. Whether you require liquid facial serums, rich anti-aging emulsions, dense hair pomades, foaming washes, or ethanol-based fine perfumes, our precision machinery guarantees accurate volumetric fills and airtight seals across extensive commercial batches.
Having scalable automation in place means you begin with flexible pilot production runs and smoothly scale into tens of thousands of units per SKU without experiencing quality drift, formulation variance, or packaging inconsistencies.
Flexible Order Quantities
MOQs tailored specifically to your chosen formula profile, packaging selection, and commercial scheduling requirements.
Comprehensive Format Capability
Fully engineered to fill dropper bottles, airless pumps, cosmetic jars, squeeze tubes, trigger sprays, and fine-mist atomizers.
Parallel Line Processing
Simultaneous production runs allow synchronized manufacturing and assembly of multi-product collections and product kits.
The End-to-End Batch Journey
Every commercial production run follows a controlled, fully documented route under ISO 22716 Good Manufacturing Practice standards.
- 01
Master Formulation & Specification
Each run is initiated from a validated master formulation file defining raw material purity grades, blending parameters, viscosity, and pH targets.
- 02
Raw Material & Component Inward Inspection
Certified active ingredients and packaging lots undergo analytical quarantine, inspection, and verification against CoA certificates.
- 03
Precision Compounding
Mixing, heating, and emulsification occur inside clean-room compounding tanks following computerized batch records for total traceability.
- 04
In-Process Analytical Checks
Bulk batches are tested by our quality assurance lab for stability, microbiological cleanliness, specific gravity, and active concentration.
- 05
Automated Filling & Inline Coding
Approved bulk is transferred directly to automated filling lines featuring electronic fill-level detection, capping torque controls, and laser batch coding.
- 06
Secondary Packaging & Palletizing
Finished cosmetic containers are boxed into custom cartons, shrink-wrapped, palletized to international freight standards, and released for dispatch.
Rigorous Multi-Stage Quality Control
Our quality control protocol guarantees product performance, aesthetic appeal, and regulatory compliance on every single production lot.
Comprehensive verification of supplier safety data sheets (MSDS), certificates of analysis (CoA), and origin documentation for 100% of raw inputs.
Chemical identity and physical defect inspections on every incoming shipment of packaging, glass bottles, pumps, and raw components before release.
Standardized, paperless digital batch records capturing temperature, agitation speeds, weighing tolerances, and operator sign-offs.
Strict laboratory evaluation of pH, specific gravity, rheological viscosity, and microbial limits prior to releasing bulk liquids to filling lines.
Routine checks for label alignment, fill volume calibration, hermetic seal integrity, closure torque, and laser batch code clarity.
Independent analytical testing to verify photostability, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB claims, accelerated shelf-life, and packaging compatibility.

EU Compliance Dossiers & On-Site Factory Audits
Every formula developed in our facility is aligned with EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, and all fine fragrance and aroma formulations adhere strictly to IFRA international standards. We supply our clients with comprehensive Product Information File (PIF) documentation, raw material INCI breakdowns, stability challenge test results, and toxicological data.
While the formal appointment of an EU or UK Responsible Person (RP) remains the legal mandate of the brand owner, we coordinate directly with your appointed regulatory consultant to make product notifications on the CPNP or UK Submit Cosmetic Product Notification portals effortless.
