Afriansyah Noor, Deputy Director General of the Indonesian Halal Product Protection Agency (BPJPH), emphasized that cosmetics must obtain halal certification after October 17, 2026. This statement was made at the 14th Cosmetic Ingredients Exhibition and Seminar at the Jakarta North Jakarta International Expo.
"According to Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024, regarding the implementation of the Halal Product Assurance Department after October 17, 2026, certain products must obtain Halal certification, covering pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemical products, genetically modified products and consumer goods."
“Cosmetics are one of the products needed by the Indonesian people, especially Muslims, and therefore need to be protected by meeting halal product guarantee standards. In addition, Muslim women, in particular, undoubtedly prioritize halal labels when purchasing cosmetics,” he added.
Furthermore, Afriansyah stated that although the halal certification obligation will not begin until October 2026, many cosmetics are already halal certified. Halal cosmetics also receive significant public attention, including through social media.
Chuzami Abidin, Deputy Head of Development and Oversight for Halal Product Assurance, added that BPJPH continues to conduct social outreach and education on halal certification with business participants, including cosmetics manufacturers. The aim is to enhance awareness and transparency within the cosmetics industry and foster trust among both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers through social outreach and education related to halal certification obligations.
BPJPH is promoting the socialization of education through various media, one of which is the current seminar event held in Perkosmi, which is of course aimed at increasing business opportunities for cosmetics marketing, as the demand is very high.
