Halal cosmetics questions: origin, safety and scope

Decision and worked example

Example: A brand uses a body's food-programme logo to claim its cosmetics are approved too. Verify the actual cosmetics programme, current status and scope annex. Identify which products the formula and supplier evidence covers. An INCI name alone does not explain origin. Halal conformity is not a safety or therapeutic guarantee. Documents delivered to a consultant do not add products to a certificate or authorise a logo. The brand must reconcile the actual issuer and product list rather than relying on the organisation's familiar name.

Questions and answers

Conditions and authority limits

HAK accredits the body; the actual issuer decides product conformity. A name in a register does not establish every programme's authority for Kayra/QRS or another entity.

Kayra service role

Kayra may support scope definition, document preparation and assessment coordination within its contracted role. The programme owner’s rules and the selected body’s current authority, scope and decision responsibilities are checked separately. Preparation does not guarantee certification, mark permission, an audit rating or legal compliance.
