Who We Are

A B2B cosmetics manufacturer in Istanbul, built for brands

Rowe Cosmetics is the export brand of Rowe Kozmetik Limited Company. We work exclusively with businesses and never compete with our clients on retail shelves — your brand, your formula approval and your market strategy stay yours.

Every stage happens inside our own facility in Esenyurt, Istanbul: formulation in our in-house R&D laboratory, raw-material handling, bulk production, automated filling, labelling, boxing and palletising. One factory means one point of contact, one quality system and full traceability from the first sample to the final pallet.

Whether you need a proven formula under your own label or a reliable manufacturer for a formula you already own, we offer OEM and ODM options in every category we produce.

Capacity & R&D

Manufacturing capacity that scales with your brand

Since 2025 our Turkish cosmetics factory has run fully automated production and filling lines with a capacity of 40,000 units per day and 1.2 million units per month.

For a new brand, this means your first order runs on the same lines and under the same controls as a large repeat order — there is no need to switch manufacturer as volumes grow. For distributors and retailers, it means stable supply for multi-SKU programmes.

See how the plant is organised on our facility page, or read how we approach cosmetic formulation and product development from brief to scale-up.

Fully automated filling lines

Bulk production, filling, labelling, boxing and palletising run in one continuous flow under ISO 22716 GMP.

In-house R&D laboratory

Cosmetic chemists on site adapt existing formulas, develop new ones and confirm each formula performs at production scale as it did in the lab.

Regulation-aligned formulation

Formulas follow EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, vegan raw materials are prioritised, and SPF values are verified by laboratory testing.

Packaging & Design

Packaging sourcing and artwork support

Our Process

How private label and contract manufacturing works

Six structured stages take your product from idea to export-ready stock, with a dedicated contact at every step.

  1. 01

    Brief & consultation

    Share your product idea, target market, positioning and quantities — or send your existing formula. We recommend the right route: private label, contract or custom development.

  2. 02

    Formulation & samples

    Our lab prepares samples from a proven formula, adapts one to your brief or reproduces your formula. You test texture, fragrance and performance.

  3. 03

    Revisions & approval

    We refine samples based on your feedback until you approve the final version. Stability and packaging compatibility are checked before production.

  4. 04

    Packaging & artwork

    We help select and source components and support label and box design so your artwork fits the packaging.

  5. 05

    Production & quality control

    Your product is manufactured and filled on automated lines under ISO 22716 GMP, with quality checks at each stage.

  6. 06

    Packing & shipment

    Finished goods are labelled, boxed and palletised in export packaging, ready for collection or shipment to your warehouse.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from B2B buyers

Straight answers to the questions brand owners and sourcing managers ask most before starting a private label or contract manufacturing project.

Ask Our Team

With private label (ODM) you start from one of our proven, EU-compliant formulas and customise it under your brand. With contract manufacturing (OEM) we produce your own formula to your specifications. Many brands combine both models across one range. See private label and contract manufacturing for details.

Our MOQ is flexible and depends on the product type, formula and packaging components you choose. Share your project details and our export team will confirm the minimum quantity for your specific project.

Yes. We can produce your existing formula, reproduce it from your INCI list and specifications, or co-develop a new formula with our in-house cosmetic chemists.

R&D support is free of charge for our customers. Any project-specific costs, such as special raw materials or custom packaging, are explained before work starts.

Our Istanbul facility holds ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP) and ISO 9001 certification, as well as The Vegan Society vegan trademark registration for eligible products and a Halal certificate.
