  • We are very happy and excited to bring you together with the "Voice of Turkish Cosmetics Project" which we have been working on with great dedication for a long time.

  • The Voice of Turkish Cosmetics project is a musical visual experience. It aims to present the scientific and innovative production power of Türkiye’s cosmetics sector through a musical work.

  • In this project, inspired by the power of traditional folk songs, we created a wonderful music video with the support of leading companies in Türkiye’s cosmetics industry.

  • Under the musical direction of musician Erdal Güney and the direction of Çağatay Çelikbaş, this project brings Türkiye’s rich melodies to life through the voices of people working in the cosmetics sector.

  • In this clip, you will be able to see the entire process—from the collection of raw materials to the moment the product reaches the shelves. Our aim is to introduce the sector to society more closely. 

  • And while doing so, we took inspiration from the power of music.
