About this Case Study

A global cosmetics manufacturer, aiming to expand into the pharmaceutical space with over-the-counter (OTC) products, faced a critical challenge: achieving compliance with stringent US GMP (21 CFR 210–211) and FDA requirements. With limited internal GMP expertise, the site needed end-to-end guidance to prepare for inspection readiness and sustainable compliance. 

Rephine partnered with the client to deliver a 12-month programme covering gap assessment, remediation, compliance readiness, and knowledge transfer. The result was a facility transformed into a GMP-compliant, FDA-ready site with empowered teams and a strengthened quality culture.

Key outcomes included:

  • Successful FDA inspection readiness and site qualification for OTC production
  • Expanded market access through new product opportunities
  • Enhanced GMP knowledge and reduced compliance risks
  • Sustainable quality culture embedded across departments

  • The strategies used to achieve FDA inspection readiness within 12 months
  • How compliance maturity enabled long-term growth and market expansion

Result: A compliant, inspection-ready site enabling OTC manufacturing and new business opportunities.
