For Muslim women, beauty products must not only be safe for the skin but also halal.
Halal certification guarantees the absence of forbidden ingredients and hygienic production processes.
Here’s how to choose halal beauty products and some recommendations.
Recognize the Logo and Certification Body
In Indonesia, look for the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) logo. For imported products, check for halal certification from their country of origin, such as JAKIM (Malaysia) or MUI itself. Don’t trust “halal” claims without an official logo.
Ingredients to Watch Out For
Avoid khamr alcohol (not synthetic alcohol used as a solvent) and pig-derived collagen. Check labels carefully. Many local brands now display ingredient lists and specify collagen sourced from fish.
Recommended Halal Brands
Several MUI-certified local brands include Wardah, Emina, Make Over, and Sariayu. For high-end options, there’s Safi (Malaysia) and some halal lines from The Body Shop. Always update your information because certifications can change.
Patch Test Before Use
Even if a product is halal, you can still have allergies. Apply a small amount behind your ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24 hours. If there’s no redness or itching, then use it on your face.
Halal women’s beauty products are now easy to find. Make sure they are officially certified, avoid forbidden ingredients, and do a patch test first.
Be beautiful while worshipping with peace of mind.
