Knowing Various Halal Cosmetic Signs, Muslims Must Know

YOGYAKARTA - Awareness of the importance of choosing halal products is increasing, including in the selection of cosmetic products. For the general public, are there any signs of halal cosmetics?

How do we as consumers make sure the products we choose are really halal? This article will discuss the signs that you can pay attention to to choosing halal cosmetics.

Reporting from a study entitled "Halal Label, Halal Awareness, Religiousity and Interest in Buying Halal Cosmetic Products", the halal label serves as a guarantee for Muslim consumers that a product is safe to consume and used in accordance with Islamic principles.

Halal labels are the result of the halal certification process carried out by the appointed institution, based on the halal fatwa issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

With the halal label, consumers can easily choose products that are in accordance with their religious beliefs.

Seeing the increasing number of cosmetic products circulating in the market, MUI has provided clear guidelines regarding the halal requirements for cosmetic products in Fatwa Number 26 of 2013.

MUI's move is important considering that Muslims need to ensure that the products used daily, including cosmetics, do not conflict with religious teachings.

More specifically, here are some tips that you can do when buying halal cosmetics:

The easiest way to ensure the halalness of a cosmetic product is to find a halal logo from MUI on the packaging. This logo is a sign that the product has gone through the halal certification process and is declared in accordance with Islamic law.

In addition to the halal logo, also pay attention to the list of materials (ingredients) listed on the packaging. Avoid products that contain materials that are forbidden in Islam, including:

In addition to halal, also make sure that the cosmetic products you choose have a distribution permit from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). This guarantees that the product is safe to use and has gone through clinical trials.

It is important that you are not deceived by the claim of "natural" in a product. Even though it is made of natural ingredients, the product is not necessarily halal. Always check the halal label and composition of the ingredients.

If you are still hesitant or want further information, don't hesitate to seek references from various trusted sources, such as the official LPPOM MUI website. You can also consult a competent beauty expert or cleric.
