Type of Product: If you want “active” ការថែរក្សាស្បែក, go with a lab-led CDMO like IGN. If you want a lot of fragrances, go with Erte.
បទប្បញ្ញត្តិ: Make sure the factory can give you a full Product Information File (PIF) ↗ and safety checks.
រ&ឃ: Find out if the manufacturer can make custom formulas or if they only sell “ស្លាកពណ៌ស” stock formulas.
Problems with Making Things in Turke
High Cost (compared to Asia): Unit prices are higher than in Vietnam or China, but they are still cheaper than in the EU.
Higher MOQ (for specialised items): Custom-molded bottles or packaging at the prestige level may need much higher minimums.

Another option is to work with manufacturers in other countries.

Lower Cost: Larger manufacturing hubs have higher economies of scale.
Faster Development: Access to huge libraries of existing formulas that make it easy to get into the market quickly.
Flexible MOQ: Some global partners help startups grow from 500 units to millions.
