Why Dora
Closer than China. More accessible than a global major.
Every international brand sourcing cosmetics manufacturing ends up comparing the same two options: a large-scale Asian OEM, or an established global major. We sit deliberately between them.
Route to Europe, compared
Both routes start on the same day. Dora clears the Turkey–EU customs union; the Asian route does not.
Meet us in person
We show up where our buyers are
Our own stand, our own brands on the shelf, and the people who run production standing behind the counter — the same people you deal with once your order is live.
Beauty Istanbul Exhibition — private label brands produced at our Silivri facility on the Dora Kozmetik stand.
Closer than China
Days-shorter shipping to Europe than any Asian manufacturer, a customs union advantage into the EU, and a time zone that overlaps a full working day with most of Europe and the Middle East.
More accessible than a global major
No minimum scale required to get a real conversation. You talk directly to the people running your production, not a regional sales portal.
Certified, not just claimed
GMP and ISO certification, with documentation provided as part of every quote — not just a badge on a homepage.
Real capacity behind every quote
25 tons of daily production, 8 filling lines and 13 mixing tanks — numbers you can ask us to substantiate, not round up.
