Drivers

Halal skincare products do not include substances such as pig fat and other animal-derived ingredients such as lanolin, keratin, gelatin, as well as alcohol and harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, etc. Demand for halal testing is on the rise in South East Asia due to growing awareness about halal products among consumers of specific communities, as they ensures authenticity and integrity of cosmetics products.

Major non-halal cosmetic brands such as The Body Shop, 100% Pure, Eccobella, and many more are easily and widely available.

The influence of westernization including western cosmetic brands that are not halal certified is still one of the major concerns for the South East Asia halal skincare market growth.
