The Origin of HALAL
HALAL is an Arabic word translated as “permitted, legal” and translated into Chinese as “halal.” It can be extended to “food, medicine, cosmetics, and their additives that meet the living habits and needs of Muslims.”
What is HALAL Certification
As the name suggests, HALAL Certification is a religious certification for food and cosmetics based on Islamic teachings. This certification aims to ensure that products comply with halal dietary laws and safeguard the consumption needs of Muslims. The certification process includes reviewing raw materials, ingredients, auxiliary materials, and production links to confirm that the product suits Muslims.
Halal cosmetics are beauty products that meet Muslims’ living habits and needs. Their main features are:
- Ingredient requirements: no pork or its derivatives shall be contained, and the alcohol content shall not exceed 0.5% (some standards require no alcohol).
- Animal ingredients, such as gelatin or glycerin, must be certified “Halal” to ensure the source meets halal standards.
- Plant ingredients are usually not restricted; the key lies in the certification of animal ingredients.
- HALAL certification ensures products meet religious requirements and guarantees consumers’ safety and trust.
