“…As Albersmeier et al (2009) and Husain et al (2012) suggested, this could lead to the assumption that their halal certificate is merely a token formality. This raises concern particularly, as it has been established in the literature that most halal cosmetic consumers place their reliance on the halal label (Jabar et al , 2014; Mohamad et al , 2015), although equal reliance may also be placed on the halal ingredients and seller feedback (Hajipour et al , 2015, p. 344).…”

“…Muslim consumers seeking halal integrity of an increasing number of products have their concerns answered by competent personnel and halal certification (Hunter, 2012; Salleh and Hussin, 2013) and the authenticity of halal, in some cases, is based purely on the product assurance provided by a label (Golnaz et al , 2012; Tieman et al , 2013; Zulfakar et al , 2014; Jabar et al , 2014; Mohamad et al , 2015). Razalli et al (2012, p. 35) defined the halal certification process as “a complex assessment on food and beverages, consumer goods, food premises and slaughter houses”.…”

Purpose The aim of this paper is to investigate the role that halal certification organisations (HCOs) play in the UK in assuring quality in halal cosmetics. Design/methodology/approach The study evaluates whether halal certification assures the quality of halal cosmetic products. This research evaluated the quality assurance systems of major UK HCOs, using a hypothetical product as a test vehicle. The investigation considered whether these organisations differ in their definition of “halal” and “halal cosmetics” and also considered how effectively their certification signals quality assurance. Findings The study indicated that there is a failure to adopt holistic halal terminology which implies that within the UK halal cosmetics industry, manufacturers may not be working within agreed standards for halal product integrity. Research limitations/implications This study focussed on UK certification for halal cosmetics by three HCOs and disregarded other forms of halal businesses. The literature review is based solely on literature available in the English language. The study lacks generalisability, as only one hypothetical product was tested; therefore, it was not possible to reach an understanding of all the costs involved in UK HCO certification. Practical implications This study undertook a comprehensive literature review on halal certification to produce a comparison of halal sanctioning laws, certification processes and the level of supply chain verification by UK HCOs. Originality/value This study adds value to the knowledge on UK halal certification.

“…Muslim consumers seeking halal integrity of an increasing number of products have their concerns answered by proficient personnel, and halal certification, (Hunter, 2012;Salleh and Hussin, 2013) and the legitimacy and authenticity of halal in some cases, is based purely on the product assurance provided by a label (Zulfakar et al, 2014;Jabar et al, 2014;Mohamad et al, 2015). Noordin et al (2014) termed halal certification as "the process of certifying products or services as pronounced by Shariah law".…”

Purpose India accounts for the third-largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan. The previous studies about halal consumption have focused on the “food and money industry” only. Muslim consumers are prohibited from using alcohol, pork and other items in any form; the rising awareness among Muslims has led to the rapid growth in demand of halal cosmetic products around the globe. This paper aims to present a framework of halal consumers’ purchase and explores the factors that Indian consumers consider while buying halal cosmetics. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out qualitative research (focus group discussion and in-depth interviews) in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad to gain deeper insight from the respondents. Findings The study found that religiosity and increasing awareness about halal products acts as an influencer for individuals’ halal products consumption along with halal certification and growing education level of Muslim consumers. Originality/value The paper has been developed based on the original research work carried out among the halal Muslim consumers in the major Muslim population in metropolitan cities of Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi over the past year.

“…As most of the patients seeking for treatment at government hospitals are Muslims, thus, someone needs to solve this matter. Another research outcome from [9] found that the level of awareness and knowledge differs between the different townships where the level of awareness among sellers is higher in a larger township when compared to a smaller township. To ensure customers' rights in terms of quality and safety, [10] stated that there is halal regulation act such as the Trade Description (use of halal expression) Order 1975 to prevent misleading information, quality, standard and genuineness of the product used.…”

Halal cosmetic products have become a topic of interest in Malaysia recently. Muslim consumers have begun to question the halal status of the ingredients used in these products. One of the reasons behind this issue could be due to the consumers' own growing interest on the concept of halal products as well as technology advancement that has enabled them to gain necessary information from the Internet. Thus cosmetic products' entrepreneurs too need to have the awareness and knowledge of halal concept to enable them to recommend suitable products to Muslim consumers. The objective of this study is to determine the factors contributing to entrepreneurs' awareness towards halal cosmetics. Selfadministered questionnaires were distributed to 74 Muslims entrepreneur of cosmetic products from four small townships in Pahang. The result indicated that there are five factors that influenced the awareness on halal cosmetics, namely, entrepreneurs' knowledge, influence from environment, product safety, education level and age. The significant factors that contributed to the awareness among entrepreneur with education of SPM or below are product safety and influence from environment, while knowledge is the significant factor for the higher educated group. Furthermore, young entrepreneurs are more concerned with product safety compared to their more experienced counterpart. The latter are more knowledgeable on the product and more influenced by the environment factor. The intention of this paper is to provide insightful information to supporting bodies such as Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) and Halal Development Centre (HDC) to assist them in constructing suitable programmes and activities to educate the entrepreneurs especially in Islamic business.
