2 COSMETICS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS INDUSTRY Parallel with the increase in living standards, the wish to keep a young and attractive appearance, the increasing number of working women and the young population of the country has led to the development of the cosmetics sector in Turkey. The Turkish cosmetic products industry has shown very good performance in terms of quality, production capacity and variety. The increase in both domestic and world demand is the major driving force for the rapid development of the sector. Today, Turkish cosmetics and personal care products companies offer high-quality, diverse products. According to the Ministry of Health, the cosmetics and personal care products industry employs people, and approximately 3250 companies manufacturing various cosmetics and personal care products are operating in the sector. The majority of these companies are located in Istanbul, which is the biggest trade center in Turkey and in which the largest production is made. In conjunction with recent economic growth in Turkey, the consumption and production of cosmetics and personal care products are growing rapidly. The number of cosmetics and personal care product range is increasing every year. Hair care has the largest share of the cosmetics and personal care products market in Turkey. Shampoos represent around 59 % of hair care products. Men's grooming products, depilatories, bath and shower products especially bar soaps, lip and eye make-up, personal deodorants and antiperspirants, perfumes, cologne and other toiletries, baby care products and dentifrices are the main products. The Turkish cosmetics market has recently witnessed the appearance of new and more competitive products such as soaps, natural soaps, natural shampoos, natural hair care, natural skin care, natural body care and other natural cosmetics. Since Turkey has a large variety of herbs and natural products, natural soap production is also widespread and done by small size local companies throughout Turkey. World-famous "laurel soaps" and "olive oil soaps" are produced in large quantities in Turkey. The Turkish soap sector is now an export-oriented sector. Turkish soap producers have created their own brands, which have led to strong consumer dependence in the domestic market, and they directed their attention to foreign markets. Most of the major multinational cosmetics and personal care products companies have manufacturing and marketing facilities in Turkey. Most of the foreign investors in the cosmetics and personal care products sector are manufacturing through joint ventures and licensing agreements. Additionally, there are many strong domestic manufacturers which have large production capacities. The Turkish cosmetics and personal care products industry has also reached world standards in terms of quality. Most of the companies have ISO 9000 Quality System Certificates and ISO Certificates. In addition, Turkish cosmetics and personal care products manufacturers closely follow recent international and national developments in environmental issues and comply with environmental legislation and regulations. The cosmetic and personal care products regulations adjusted to EU Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC) has been in force in the Turkish market since Studies about adopting the new European Cosmetics Directive 1223/2009 (which was put into force on July 2013) to Turkish legislation are continuing.
