In Islam, the consumption of Halal food and the use of Halal consumer products are obligatory in serving Allah. Muslim communities are therefore very mindful of food ingredients and handling processes.
Processed food is only Halal if the raw materials, ingredients and additives fully conform to Islamic guidelines. However, Halal ingredients are also of great importance in the manufacturing of both Halal cosmetics and personal care products. In Halal cosmetics, both the active ingredients and functional ingredients must comply to Islamic requirements.
With the abundance of mushbooh (suspected) and haram ingredients commonly used in industry today (such as collagen extracted from human hair, swine placenta etc.) there is significant growth potential to be captured by manufacturers of Halal ingredients.
