HALAL STANDARD
“Skin care products approved according to Islamic law for use by Muslims.”
Natureprof Co., Ltd. has been certified with the Halal Standard for its skin care and cosmetic products, as recognized by the Central Islamic Council of Thailand. This certification guarantees the quality, cleanliness, and safety of the products, ensuring their compliance with Islamic law. It builds trust among Muslim consumers, as well as people of other faiths.
“Halal,” derived from Arabic, means “permissible” or “approved.” It refers to actions or items allowed under Islamic law, as opposed to “Haram,” which signifies what is forbidden. The concept of Halal is vital, as anything used in the production of Halal-certified products must comply with Islamic standards.
Quality and Standards
To achieve Halal certification, the manufacturing facility must pass a thorough evaluation based on two main criteria: religious and international standards. Specifically, the manufacturer must be certified with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), a global standard for quality control to ensure safe and high-quality products. In addition to GMP, the manufacturer must also comply with HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), a universally recognized standard for controlling the production process to prevent contamination and ensure product safety. This aligns with the Halal principle of maintaining cleanliness and ensuring that the products are free from harmful chemicals, making them safe for Muslim consumers. The Halal certification process is overseen by the Central Islamic Council of Thailand.
Religious Guidelines
From a religious perspective, the manufacturing facility must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure that the products are clean, safe, and compliant with Islamic law. Key requirements include:
• The manufacturing facility must maintain cleanliness according to industry and relevant standards.
• Halal products must be produced separately from non-Halal items, with clear segregation.
• Raw materials for Halal products must be stored separately from non-Halal materials.
• Halal products must be transported separately from non-Halal products.
The production and sale of products that do not violate Islamic law ensure that Muslims can safely consume them, free from contamination with forbidden substances. Halal emphasizes cleanliness throughout every step, including raw materials, production equipment, facilities, and transportation, all in strict accordance with Islamic principles.
It is clear that the Halal Standard serves as a guarantee of the quality, cleanliness, and safety of cosmetic products, instilling confidence in both Muslim consumers and those of other faiths.
