It has five powerful tissue paper brands: Selpak, Solo, Silen and Servis for diverse consumer needs and expectations and Selpak Professional for the away-from-home market. Selpak, the company’s flagship brand and a leader in regional markets as well as in Turkey, is so well-known that consumers in Turkey use the brand to refer to all hanky products. Eczacıbaşı Consumer Products also has leading brands in a variety of personal care segments, including sexual well-being, hair styling, eau-de-cologne and skin care. In all of these areas, the company’s mission is to provide consumers the products they need for healthy, modern and high-quality living.

Uni Baby, the market leader in baby care, offers specially formulated products that can be applied safely on baby’s delicate skin from the first day onwards.

Detan and Defans, the company’s pest control and pest repellent brands, are continually developing themselves to ensure pest-free and healthy home environments. Premax, a brand for household cleaning wipes, is another household care category where Eczacıbaşı Consumer Products is offering new solutions for healthy living.
