There is definitely an overlap between natural and halal cosmetics. Natural products are organic, vegan, eco-friendly and cruelty-free and may contain alcohol. While halal products do not contain any prohibited animal substances, alcohol or contamination.
In Morocco, one of the Halal labels is Label Halal Maroc. It is from the Moroccan Institute for Standardization (IMANOR) that this distinctive mark can be acquired. The label certifies compliance with Moroccan standards on Halal products and services. It was launched within the framework of Law 12-06, in association with the Superior Council of Ulemas and the Moroccan health control authorities (ONSSA & DMP/MS), and complies with the OCI/SMIIC2 and ISO/CEI 17065 Standards.
The cosmetics giants who want a piece of the pie
The “big players” have no choice; they must adapt to this increasingly growing Halal clientele. Because this new generation of digital Muslims is highly connected, access to research and technological advancements have created an insightful opportunity for Halal consumers to make smart choices.
Brands like Unilever, Beiersdorf and L’Oreal are a few multinational brands that are converting their supply chains for countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia, and more recently for the Indian subcontinent, Africa and the Middle East.
These major brands began by focusing on the Hair Care market: the Anglo-Dutch multinational Unilever has been marketing its special Sunsilk shampoo for veiled women for several years. For its part, the German giant Henkel has launched its new shampoo dedicated Gliss Restore & Refresh shampoo to solve the problems caused by the lack of ventilation of the hair of veiled women.
Other brands choose skincare instead, such as the American giant Procter & Gamble, which has also taken an interest in the Muslim market by launching a lightening cream exclusively dedicated to Gulf women.
