Abstract

Halal is an Arabic word, which means permissible or lawful by Islamic Law (shariah).It refers to the whole system of principles and rules, according to which every Muslim is required to live by.Halal products are a basic need for all Muslims, including cosmetic and personal care products. Halal cometic products should be looked at beyond the swine-free issue. They cover all aspects of the management system, including selection of raw materials/ingredients, built-in production processes, storage, distribution, transportation, and delivery to the consumer. Currently halal products are not only important for Muslims, but are also attracting non-Muslims due to cleanliness, purity, and good quality products.Detection of non-halal ingredients in cosmetic products is quite difficult due to the high complexity of ingredient usage. Therefore, developing methods of analysis are important to ensure halal authenticity and integrity. Halal standards and halal certification is important as a benchmark for halal compliance.
