Cosmax Indonesia receives halal certification from the the world's third-largest halal certification authority

  • Cosmetics original design manufacturer (ODM) industry's first preproduction process certification
  • Will make complete production process halal
  • Indonesia to be Cosmax's ASEAN exports outpost

Cosmax Indonesia, a cosmetics research, development and manufacturing (ODM) company, a subsidiary of Korean company Cosmax, has received halal certification from the world's third largest certification authority, Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) for its domestic preproduction processes. The certification will accelerate the company's outreach to an estimated 1.7 billion Muslims worldwide.

MUI's halal certification is recognised in 40 countries. It is one of three major world halal certification agencies, which also include the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), and the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).

Cosmax notes that the conditions for recognition are very strict. Halal cosmetics must be made of ingredients which are not harmful to humans and cleanliness must be maintained during the manufacturing process.

Lee Kun-il, head of PT Cosmax Indonesia, said that the international-recognised certification for Cosmax Indonesia will enable allow the Indonesian subsidiary to be a base for halal cosmetics exports in Southeast Asia as well as meet halal demand globally, including in the Middle East.
