The Implementation of Halal Cosmetic Standard in Malaysia: A Brief Overview
Abstract
In past few years, the demand on halal cosmetic and personal care products is increasing tremendously. This has lead to the introduction of Halal cosmetics standard MS 2200: 2008 in June 2010 that meets the strict rules of Shariah law. Hence, this paper focused on the implementation of halal cosmetic standard in Malaysia based on the aforesaid standard. The paper also highlighted on the requirements of the standards, the process involved in halal certification, liability imposed towards violation of halal certificate and the halal ingredients required by the relevant authorities.

The pharmaceutical business of Malaysia has been encountering dynamic
development throughout the years. Sales and advertising need obligations of
pharmaceutical organizations to spread the product information and materials through
a precise regulatory pathway of advancing the sales of products. The pharmaceutical
manufacturing hub in Malaysia is under the supervision of the Ministry of Health (MoH)
of Malaysia. An execution of various laws and the establishment of regulating authorities
have been done to govern the pharmaceutical business and protecting the community.
While the laws are executed, the legislature or related specialists should watch out for
the present medicinal issues to pass judgment on the viability of the current laws in
overseeing the pharmaceutical sales and advertisement. The public should be exposed
to the advertisements which help the consumers to settle on level-headed choices on
the utilization of medications without confounding, misdirecting and beguiling cases.
However, such activities are commendable if they are following the enactment and rules
provided by the respective authority.

... Halal standards should be developed as guidance or standard in which manufacturers must achieve to obtain halal recognition for their products. The implementation of halal standards in cosmetics allowed committee from Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) to critically evaluate cosmetics products that were eligible for halal certification, (Jusoh et al., 2016). With that being said, cosmetics halal standards also served as a medium for monitoring and enforcing halal certification obligation in a way failure to comply with those standards resulting in serious actions taken to certificate holders. ...

Twitter is one of the many communications means connecting groups of users with similar interests. This study analyses tweets related to halal cosmetics in order to gain insights about halal cosmetics chatter on Twitter. The researchers extracted Twitter data related to halal cosmetics (2008 to 2018) using English and Bahasa Malaysia keywords and examined a sample of 19,449 tweets. They found that halal cosmetics began to gain popularity in 2014 and, in terms of geo-location, the highest number of tweets pertaining to halal cosmetics came from Indonesia, followed by Malaysia and the United Kingdom.

This article looks at the international halal cosmetic market
The objective of this paper is to analyse the Halal standards among OIC Country specifically on preparation of food standard. One of the reasons why the Halal industry cannot grow faster, despite rising demands for Halal products worldwide, is because there is no consensus on a Halal standard. Each country has its own certification body, which leads to disagreements over animal feed, slaughtering methods, packaging, logistics and other issues. Indeed, all sectors of the market from inter-government agencies to the smallest trader have recognized the need for one global Halal standard that is recognised by all importing countries. Amidst the growing number of agencies issuing Halal certificates, there is also an increasing trend for local government departments to take charge of Halal certification as a result of the increasing demand for the export of Halal goods. It would be very difficult for countries to collectively agree on one global Halal standard as this would mean surrendering their sovereign rights. As a conclusion, uniformity and consensus especially among OIC Countries is very much important in order to ensure Halal standard for OIC Countries can be develop or otherwise it will be a dream forever. Implication of this paper is to educate people and industry on the importance of having uniformity for Halal standard. Hence, in the future research, it is suggested to study on the establishment of International Accreditation for Halal.
The term halal refers to what ispermitted by Islamic law. It is a basic need for Muslims and encompasses all materials used in everyday life including cosmetics.Muslims want to be assured that the ingredients,handling, processing, distribution, transportation and types of cosmetic used are halal compliant. The halal aspects of cosmetic and personal care products cover ingredients, all the processes involved in production right up to delivery to consumers, safety and product efficacy evaluations. In order to verify halal compliance of cosmetic products, a method of detecting halal and non-halal ingredients is very important and critically needed. Halal cosmetic standards, halal certification and the halal logo can be used as benchmarks for halal compliance. In view of the importance of cosmetic and personal care products from the halal perspective, this review will cover the halal principles, halal cosmetic and personal care products, ingredients, standard and certification as well as safety. The development of the process of detecting non-halal ingredients and authenticating halal ingredients for potential cosmetic applications in recent years are included in this paper.
Recently, the HDC or Halal Development Corporation took over the administration of halal from JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia) to establish a specific body that is fully in charge of the halal administration. This appears to be one of the initiatives the government has implemented to raise Malaysia's standing as a major player in the world halal industry. In its implementation there must also be laws imposing criminal liability on the violation of halal, as well as particular standards for its achievement. This article discusses the laws that impose criminal liability as well as the Malaysian Halal Standard to determine whether Malaysia can position itself as the 'model' country for taking charge of halal matters globally.
