Salmon DNA serum represents a modern beauty care innovation containing DNA extract from salmon specifically designed for skin care applications. This product has gained significant attention as a technologically advanced solution for various beauty concerns, particularly among women seeking attractive and charming appearances through instant treatment solutions.

Salmon DNA serums possess regenerative properties that offer multiple skin benefits including skin cell rejuvenation, tightening, damage repair, moisturization, wrinkle reduction, and essential nutrient provision. The product’s richness in protein and amino acids contributes to increased collagen production in skin cells, making it popular for anti-aging therapy, wrinkle reduction treatments, and addressing skin damage caused by sun exposure or pollution.

Halal Compliance Considerations

According to halal auditors from the Halal Inspection Body of the Assessment Institute for Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics (LPH LPPOM), several critical factors must be evaluated regarding salmon DNA beauty serum injections from a halal perspective. Despite salmon’s inherently halal status, the manufacturing process and ingredients require thorough examination to ensure compliance with Islamic dietary laws.

Even though these serums are not consumed orally, both ingredients and manufacturing facilities must be verified as free from impurities and haram (forbidden) substances. The halal certification process through the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) requires comprehensive evaluation of all components and production methods.

Key Manufacturing Concerns

• Extracting Agent Analysis

During salmon DNA extraction processes, various chemicals and liquids serve as extracting agents to break down and separate DNA from salmon cells. These agents work to destroy cellular membranes and nuclei while removing other cellular components to obtain pure salmon DNA.

• Enzyme Source Verification

Halal auditor Fadila, S.TP from LPH LPPOM emphasizes that protease enzymes commonly used in extraction must be carefully evaluated. These enzymes require verification of their origin—whether derived from plant or animal sources. Animal-derived enzymes must be confirmed as not originating from pigs or animals slaughtered contrary to Islamic law requirements.

• Amino Acid Origin Assessment

Amino acids synthesized from animal fur present another critical consideration. Verification is required to ensure these amino acids derive from halal animals, with additional confirmation needed regarding whether the fur was obtained from living animals or post-slaughter. If obtained after slaughter, the slaughtering process must comply with Islamic law, necessitating halal certification from either BPJPH or recognized foreign halal certification agencies.

Microbial Product Considerations

Microbial products like salmon DNA contain critical points related to nitrogen sources used for growth nutrients. These nitrogen sources may derive from meat extract, hydrolysis peptone, and other materials that require traceability to ensure they originate from halal animals slaughtered according to Islamic law.

The Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa No. 01 of 2010 concerning the Use of Microbes and Microbial Products provides detailed guidance on this matter. The fatwa states that microbial products produced by microbes growing in unclean growth media can be considered halal if the microbes can be completely separated from the media and undergo proper purification processes.

Medical and Safety Considerations

While salmon DNA beauty serums offer numerous benefits, their effectiveness and safety can vary significantly among individuals. Medical professionals strongly recommend consultation before undergoing serum injection treatments to avoid potential medical harm and ensure appropriate application for individual skin conditions.

Regulatory Framework and Certification

• BPJPH Halal Certification Process

Understanding the critical points regarding potential contamination with haram and impure materials facilitates the halal certification process for salmon DNA cosmetics through BPJPH. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that products meet Islamic dietary law requirements while maintaining their beneficial properties for beauty applications.

• Compliance Assurance

The halal certification process requires thorough documentation and verification of all ingredients, manufacturing processes, and facility conditions to ensure complete compliance with Islamic principles while delivering effective beauty treatment solutions.
