Unlock the Lucrative Halal Beauty Market with ZendEase

Why Halal Beauty Matters in Indonesia

The term "halal" isn't just a label; it's a commitment to integrity, purity, and respect for Islamic principles. When it comes to cosmetics, this means products are manufactured with ingredients permissible under Islamic law. This includes strict guidelines prohibiting substances like blood, pigs, and alcohol, as they are considered non-halal.

Halal certification is more than a stamp; it's a guarantee of quality and adherence to ethical standards. To achieve this, formulations must be free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and production facilities must maintain impeccable hygiene to prevent contamination.

Navigating Halal Certification

In Indonesia, halal certification isn't just a choice; it's a legal requirement. The Indonesian Ulema Council mandates certification for cosmetics, food, and non-food products and services. Failure to comply means foreign beauty products will be treated as non-halal unless certified by an accredited body.

To be recognized as a Halal Beauty brand, developers must undergo rigorous certification by the Indonesia Halal Certification. While the process incurs costs, ranging from Rp35,000 to Rp21,125,000, depending on the product and scale of business, the benefits far outweigh the investment.

The Bright Future of Halal Beauty

The demand for halal cosmetics is skyrocketing, fueled by a global shift towards ethical and inclusive consumerism. In Indonesia alone, where the Muslim population exceeds 237 million, the market potential is immense.

With exponential growth projected, from $33.3 billion in 2021 to $77.34 billion by 2028 globally, and Indonesia's halal cosmetics industry expected to reach $4.19 billion by 2025, the opportunities are boundless. By 2030, the global halal cosmetics market is projected to soar to USD 83.76 billion, with Indonesia's beauty and personal care market reaching approximately US $7 billion by 2023.
