The question of halal and haram is an important aspect to be given attention where it is closely related to the question of the faith of Muslims. The use of a cosmetic product should be based on the concept of halal and good. The problem that often arises is the existence of doubts among consumers about the halal status of cosmetic products. Muslim consumers should be concerned about cosmetic products that comply with Islamic requirements. A worrying phenomenon that occurs nowadays is that there are many cosmetic products on the market that are not clearly identified owners and manufacturers, the method of preparation in terms of source is halal toyyiba and quality, approval from the authorities in terms of halal, hygiene status, health and safety to users of cosmetic products. However, the demand and use of cosmetics among the community in Malaysia is increasing. Therefore, this issue deserves attention.
