Production of cosmetic products from natural ingredients as part of the entrepreneurial ventures in recent years shows a significant increase. As the market has increasingly present a variety of cosmetic products actually becomes art to find exactly the right natural. Sometimes the lack of confidence of consumers justified solely on the ground of insufficient knowledge of differences that determine the quality of poor quality, and healthful and harmless cosmetic products from those of others.
Currently valid legislation includes guidelines ISO 22716 as a prerequisite to meet the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in the production of cosmetic products. Checking compliance with the guidelines of good manufacturing practice, consumers are given guarantees high control and hygiene conditions in the production of cosmetic products.

GMP includes the production of safe and healthy cosmetics sanitary-hygienic conditions of space, personnel, equipment, raw materials and packages, cleaning and sanitary measures and documentation management.
GMP is an legal requirement for all manufacturers of cosmetic products in the Republic of Croatia, regardless of the form of registered activities (company) and the amount of manufactured products. Large companies have their own resources which are able to establish and maintain all requirements of GMP and comply with all other applicable legal regulations.
It is in this manner formed project between the consulting firm Marinorm and OPG Jakopović.

Marinorm is a consulting firm for business consulting for ISO and other standards with a focus on the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sector. It is a rich blend of knowledge and practical experience was the foundation of the beginning of cooperation with OPG Jakopović. And also the personal belief in the tried-quality product range, "House of magical herbs".
OPG Jakopović has developed a wide range of cosmetic products under the brand "KMT". In the area of ​​organic cosmetics in Croatia start as pioneers, and the production of cosmetic products developed from the original idea of ​​growing herbs balm. Primary production clearly expressed the need for finalization of the cosmetic products.

"KMT" is the first range of products in Croatia and has the EKO label cosmetics, 100% natural cosmetics with organic ingredients and natural cosmetics with organic ingredients for products.

Many won awards for quality and innovation of cosmetic products and raw materials Eco certifications confirm the consistency of philosophy GMP. The products are not tested on animals but on family and friends.
All herbal ingredients have proven their effectiveness since ancient times when the use of plants for medicinal and cosmetic purposes was the only available source. Such proven knowledge are the basis for the production of quality cosmetics.
The project is the introduction of the GMP in the OPG Jakopović is the main person responsible and Mrs. Snjezana Mikulčić Jakopović meant a lot of time spent on writing documentation and organization with production to set a good foundation of organizational system. The introduction of the GMP in the small farm where all the work of the agricultural cultivation, processing and production, hygiene and sanitation, procurement and on-site sales reduced to the family, is an admirable endeavor. In order for each product had worked off all the statutory activities and finally got a quality and safe and healthy correct product require a lot of knowledge, effort, skills and experience. OPG Jakopović that proves its success.

Looking at the other side has just the GMP, after a large initial engagement, the system that facilitates the organization and conduct of all production activities.
Terms of the organization of work of all employees and by defining description of all business activities clearly define the rules of conduct and standardized for all process steps in order to avoid any possibility of improvisation or skipping certain actions, and again to ensure consistency in production. Continuous education in the field of DSP and monitor trends contribute to the development of the introduced system.

Compliance with the requirements for space, it is also an essential prerequisite. The area must be suitable and separate production, storage of raw materials and storage containers, storage of finished products, for preparing, finishing and packaging of products, as well as adequate space for employees. Proper arrangement of the rooms already in the design stage of the production facility and practical deployment of production equipment, will prevent the crossing of roads, and any possibility of contamination of cosmetic products that pass through the production facilities. With this approach we optimize and business activity in the manufacturing area and facilitate the work of employees. All other raw materials in cosmetic products and packaging materials, and all surfaces during production come into contact with cosmetic products must be absolutely sure that at no time in any way not endanger hygiene and product safety. Already mentioned hygiene and sanitation, the most important part of all manufacturing activities, including the cleaning of equipment and space. Consistent implementation of the cleaning program requires careful planning in order to achieve the purpose of cleaning, not further caused contamination. Regular quality control in an authorized and accredited laboratory laboratory of all cosmetic products that are on the market and regular inspections of the relevant institution must be in the service of consumer protection. In the end, the most important consumer satisfaction purchasing cosmetic products produced in accordance with the guidelines of GMP and we just here the importance of the guidelines of good manufacturing practices in the production of cosmetics we want to share with consumers.
