Based in Türkiye and the Netherlands, we serve brands from emerging markets to established international players, combining a deeply local understanding with a genuinely global reach.

Structured processes that accelerate, never obstruct, your launch.
With over 16 years of hands-on experience in cosmetic and nutraceutical innovation, Ayça Güngör has built her career at the intersection of science, regulation, and brand strategy. As Co-Founder of DEA Consulting, she specializes in transforming complex scientific concepts into market-ready, fully compliant products that resonate commercially.
Her expertise spans the entire product value chain — from advanced formulation development across color cosmetics, skincare, and sun care categories, to navigating the regulatory landscapes of the EU (as an appointed EU Responsible Person), the UK, the USA, and Türkiye.
Ayça's approach is deeply strategic and client-centric: she doesn't simply deliver technical solutions, she co-architects product strategies that are safe, innovative, and commercially compelling — giving brands the confidence to enter markets boldly and scale sustainably.
In today's competitive cosmetic and nutraceutical markets, success is not achieved by formulation alone. Sustainable, scalable growth requires an integrated approach — connecting scientific expertise, regulatory intelligence, and market strategy into a single coherent system. That is precisely what DEA Consulting delivers.
Value chain mapping · Market analysis · Disruptive innovation · Project portfolio management
In today's cosmetic and nutraceutical markets, success is not achieved by formulation alone. Sustainable growth requires structured R&D strategy, market insight, and innovation management. DEA Consulting supports brands in building science-based, market-driven product development systems. We do not simply develop products — we design product innovation strategies.
We analyze the entire lifecycle of your product — from concept to shelf — to identify risks, inefficiencies, and growth opportunities. This structured approach increases operational efficiency and reduces development risks.
Product development is not only a technical decision — it is a strategic one. This ensures that your product responds to real market demand and aligns with commercial expectations.
Rather than creating standard products, we help brands develop differentiated solutions. This approach strengthens your competitive advantage and brand differentiation.
Long-term brand success depends on a structured product portfolio rather than isolated product launches. This enables scalable and sustainable growth.
Laboratory services
Cosmetic products must be scientifically validated to ensure safety, stability, performance, and regulatory compliance before being placed on the market. DEA Consulting manages cosmetic testing and analytical processes through accredited laboratories and integrates the results into your regulatory documentation. We do not simply arrange laboratory tests — we design the right testing strategy aligned with global regulatory requirements.
These tests determine the fundamental quality parameters of cosmetic products. These analyses confirm the product's technical specifications and quality standards.
Microbiological safety is a legal requirement for cosmetic products. These tests ensure that products are safe for consumer use.
The effectiveness of the preservative system must be scientifically demonstrated. Challenge testing is essential for Product Information File (PIF) documentation, especially for the EU market.
Sun care products must substantiate SPF and UVA claims through validated testing. These tests ensure compliance with global sunscreen regulations.
Dermatological tests assess product compatibility with human skin. These studies support product safety claims and regulatory documentation.
Stability testing determines whether a cosmetic product maintains its safety, functionality, and performance throughout its shelf life. Stability studies are critical for determining shelf life and PAO (Period After Opening).
Efficacy tests scientifically support marketing and performance claims. Testing is tailored to the specific product claim. Well-designed efficacy studies enhance market credibility and brand positioning.
EU · UK · USA · Türkiye
Cosmetic, food supplement, and biocidal products must fully comply with the regulations of each target country. We provide end-to-end regulatory compliance and product authorization services — enabling your products to access the EU, UK, US, and Turkish markets safely, efficiently, and legally.
Under EU legislation, cosmetic products must designate a Responsible Person established within the European Union before being placed on the market. DEA Consulting provides this service through its Netherlands-based entity and directly manages CPNP submissions.
In the United States, cosmetic products must comply with the FDA Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), which requires facility registration and product listing. DEA Consulting manages all necessary registration and compliance procedures to ensure full FDA alignment.
For cosmetic products to be placed on the UK market, appointment of a UK Responsible Person and notification via the SCPN system is mandatory. DEA Consulting manages the entire process.
In Türkiye, cosmetic products must be registered in the Product Tracking System (ÜTS), and a legally designated Responsible Technical Person must be appointed before market placement. DEA Consulting manages the entire compliance and registration process in full alignment with Turkish cosmetic legislation.
Before cosmetic products can be placed on the market in Türkiye, the EU, and other international markets, their safety must be scientifically assessed and officially documented. DEA Consulting works with authorized Safety Assessors holding both Turkish and EU-recognized qualifications.
The Product Information File (PIF) is a mandatory technical dossier required for cosmetic products to be legally placed on the market. DEA Consulting prepares fully compliant PIF documentation in accordance with international standards.
