Definition of Halal
Cosmetics
Islam
is the second largest religion in the world. Therefore, Muslims who adhere to
Islam should obey Islamic law as it is a religious pillar. There is a guide for
a Muslim in everyday life. For example, in terms of beauty. Nowadays, beauty is
a culture that is highly regarded as an inspirational or trendy lifestyle. In
Islam, Muslims can maintain the beauty of the body, but the products they use
must be Halal. Halal is an Arabic term which means lawful or permissible. Therefore,
it is compulsory for Muslims to take and use only halal products (Muniaty
Aishah, 2017) and not use Non-Halal. Not only that, the product must be halal
in terms of manufacturing, content and ways to sell it. Benefits of preserving
items do not endanger users in the future as an example of irritation, skin
cancer and so on. So Halal Cosmetics can be defined as products which does not
have any human parts or ingredient or animal that forbidden for Muslim and
slaughtered according to syariah law.
