LPPOM Highlights Halal and Thayyib as Sustainability Pillars in Modern Cosmetics Industry at Hong Kong Summit

Ethical Beauty Meets Sustainability

At the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit held on November 11, 2025, in Hong Kong, Lembaga Pemeriksa Halal (LPPOM) reinforced the growing significance of halal and thayyib principles as foundational to sustainable, ethical beauty. This marks a shift in the global cosmetics industry, where consumers increasingly prioritize products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe, ethical, and environmentally responsible.

Halal and Thayyib: Beyond Permissibility to Beneficial Sustainability

Asya Fathya Nur Zakiah, Halal Auditor and International Halal Partner of LPPOM, emphasized that halal cosmetics embody more than just the absence of haram (forbidden) ingredients. The thayyib concept—meaning “good” and “beneficial”—ensures that cosmetics use safe, high-quality ingredients and environmentally conscious production processes. Halal certification thus aligns seamlessly with sustainability goals, covering ingredient sourcing, clean manufacturing, and ecological responsibility.

Indonesia’s Robust Halal Regulatory Framework

Indonesia stands at the forefront with its comprehensive halal certification system. Government Regulation No. 42/2024 mandates halal certification from the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) for all cosmetics by October 2026. This regulation is rigorously enforced through scientific examinations by Halal Inspection Bodies like LPPOM, which trace ingredient origins and verify compliance with Islamic law and sustainability principles.

In-Depth Certification Drives Cleaner, Greener Products

Every cosmetic ingredient, including complex substances like glycerin and fragrances, undergoes meticulous scrutiny. This rigorous process not only guarantees halal compliance but also fosters cleaner formulations and more environmentally friendly practices—hallmarks of sustainable product development. Products bearing BPJPH halal certification implicitly meet global sustainability standards by ensuring safety, ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility throughout the supply chain.

Supporting Industry Compliance with “Halal On 30”

To assist cosmetics manufacturers, LPPOM offers “Halal On 30,” a practical 30-minute online session simplifying the halal certification process. Accessible via bit.ly/HalalOn30, this resource helps businesses integrate halal principles with sustainability commitments efficiently.

Halal Certification as a Mark of Sustainable Trust

The halal label, beyond religious assurance, is emerging as a trusted symbol of sustainable and ethical beauty in a consumer landscape increasingly influenced by green values. As Asya succinctly puts it, “Halal isn’t just about what’s allowed and what’s not allowed, but about how we can create beauty that doesn’t harm anyone—including the planet we live on.”

Key Takeaways:

• Halal and thayyib values form the ethical and environmental backbone of sustainable cosmetics.
• Indonesia’s halal certification system is among the most advanced, mandating compliance by 2026.
• Scientific verification ensures ingredients and production processes are safe, clean, and environmentally sound.
• Halal certification complements global green beauty trends by guaranteeing ethical sourcing and social responsibility.
• Educational initiatives like “Halal On 30” facilitate industry adoption of halal and sustainable practices.

For cosmetics brands aiming to lead in the evolving sustainability landscape, securing BPJPH halal certification offers a distinctive, credible pathway to meeting ethical consumer demands and fostering global trust.
