The Arabic word HALAL can be translated as “permitted” or “lawful” and refers to all things and actions that are permitted under Islamic law. Symrise as a global supplier of cosmetic ingredients understands the specific requirements of the growing Islamic population and provides a comprehensive palette of HALAL-certified products.

Symrise has HALAL-certified manufacturing facilities in Singapore and its headquarters in Holzminden, Germany which comply with the strict HALAL guidelines. The global supplier of cosmetic active ingredients and raw materials can therefore provide more than 200 products that are in accordance with the international HALAL regulations while meeting the care needs of Muslim users. “We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a wide range of ingredients bearing the HALAL seal thanks to our certified production facilities,” said Dr. Gabriele Vielhaber, Senior Vice President of the Cosmetic Ingredients division at Symrise.
