What is Halal Beauty? Halal cosmetics manufactured in accordance with Islamic Sharia law contain ingredients that are haram (prohibited) in Islam, such as alcohol, genetically modified ingredients, ingredients derived from the human body, and ingredients derived from animals (such as pigs) that are prohibited by Sharia law. must not contain any ingredients. From animals slaughtered using non-halal methods. Cosmetics cannot be manufactured in facilities that also handle non-halal products (this also applies to storage, packaging, display, and shipping of products) or processed with non-halal machinery and equipment. This may seem simple at first, but it gets more complicated when beauty and personal care come into play. Face creams often contain more than 20 ingredients, with active ingredients and compounds sourced from a variety of companies and regions. To certify a product as halal, it must be clear that the source of each cosmetic ingredient is free of non-halal ingredients. For example, cosmetic active ingredients cannot include placenta, albumin, or keratin components derived from humans or illegally slaughtered animals, but other typical ingredients such as enzymes, proteins, ferments, and even AHAs. Cultures, media, and additives used in the production of cosmetic ingredients should also contain similar ingredients. Items that are certified as Halal, meaning they do not contain non-Halal ingredients and are not manufactured in a non-Halal facility. Products such as color cosmetics, sunscreens, and body lotions also need to be water permeable so that they can be washed during wudu rituals, so it can also be difficult to claim that they are “waterproof” or “water resistant.” . There is no global halal authority or certification body, and each Muslim (or Muslim-majority) country has its own halal regulations (and national certification bodies), so halal certification in specific regional markets Certification may not be recognized in other Muslim countries. However, certifiers in larger halal markets such as Malaysia and Indonesia typically recognize certain foreign halal certifiers, although they are required to formally register their products in the target country. |
