Swiss Certification Body Validates Production Compliance

Lipoid Kosmetik has received a halal certification from Halal Certification Services (HCS) in Switzerland, confirming that the company’s production sites, processes, raw materials, storage areas, packaging materials all comply with Islamic halal standards.

The HCS is an internationally accredited institution that certifies companies in the food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical industries.

Lipoid Kosmetik’s certification allows the company to operate in the growing halal market, expanding its reach to include Muslim consumers with brand partners globally.

“We can now offer halal-certified products in addition to our extensive range of halal-conform products, already covering more than 92% of our portfolio,” the company says.

Islamic Standards Exclude Specific Alcohol Types, Forbidden Ingredients

Halal beauty refers to products that do not contain any ingredients forbidden under Islamic law, such as alcohol from khamr industries, which includes intoxicants derived from fermenting grapes or dates. Naturally fermented ethanol is considered halal in concentrations of less than 1%.

The certification was granted after independent experts ensured that Lipoid Kosmetik’s products meet high safety, hygiene, integrity standards while not posing risks to consumers’ health.

Inclusive Cosmetics Movement Drives Industry Innovation

The ingredient manufacturer’s certification comes amid a growing push for inclusive cosmetics. Earlier this year, Kao launched a halal gel with spray-formulated antiperspirant designed for women in Indonesia, tailored to the country’s hot, humid climate.

The product was designed for local consumers who wear a hijab, offering skin-friendly protection against odors while aligning with their religious beliefs.

Personal Care Insights previously reported on data that Gen Z is a large driving force behind the rise in halal cosmetics sales, particularly due to social media’s influence. Korea, India, Indonesia are spotlighted regions:

“Korea is actively working to establish a global network to capture a larger share of the halal cosmetics market. At the same time, India with Indonesia remain the top two largest markets by Muslim consumer spending on cosmetics,” the report details.
