Schülke has announced that its broad portfolio of personal care products is now certified to Halal standards.
An audit by Halal Control, an accredited, independent inspection and certification body, has verified that schülke’s entire portfolio of personal care products meets all requirements for Halal certification. Consequently, schülke can offer Halal-certified ingredients to industry players serving this specific target market.
In recent years, there has been increasing global demand for Halal products – and not only food, but also cosmetics and personal care items. The potential market is considerable: in 2010, the world’s Muslim population was estimated at 1.6 billion, and is expected to rise in coming years, accoding to the Pew Research Center, 2015. In addition, there is growing interest in Halal- ertified goods beyond the Islamic community. British market intelligence agency Mintel has stated that many consumers view the Halal label as evidence of product safety and purity. There are also legal drivers: Indonesia, for example, is planning to introduce compulsory Halal labelling, and other countries, such as Malaysia and Thailand are likely to follow suit in the near future.
