At Obelis, we carry out a comprehensive review of your cosmetic labels to ensure full compliance with the Turkish Cosmetics Regulation. Our experts examine every part of your packaging, outer cartons, inner containers, and inserts, so that labelling never becomes a barrier to market success.
During our cosmetic labelling review, we verify key elements such as:
● Product function and trade name.
● INCI ingredient listings and allergen declarations.
● Net content (ml/g).
● Batch number and traceability details.
● PAO (Period After Opening) or expiry date.
● Name and Turkish address of the Responsible Person.
● Warnings, usage instructions, and any mandatory statements.
● Country of origin for imported products.
● Presence and correctness of mandatory symbols (e.g. open book, PAO).
Where product claims require adjustment, we help you rephrase them in line with Turkish guidelines and support you in collecting the substantiation needed to back them up.
By working with Obelis, you gain a dedicated partner that ensures your cosmetic labels are clear, compliant, and ready for the Turkish market.
