Market Trends of South Korea Beauty And Personal Care Products Industry
Growing Demand for Halal Cosmetics
- Halal-certified natural cosmetics were initially made particularly for the communities that follow Islamic laws, but currently, many are opting for these because of their properties. More than a religious belief, halal beauty is a lifestyle. The popularity of clean, organic, and vegan beauty has led to a rise in conscious cosmetics consumers, giving halal beauty a place to thrive. In addition, the growing health concerns due to the harmful effects of artificial ingredients used in manufacturing beauty products have been attributed to the increasing demand for halal cosmetics in South Korea among non-Muslim women.
- JNH Cosmetics was the first company in Korea to provide completely Halal-Certified cosmetic products manufactured in Korea specifically for the Muslim community. In addition, the Certification of Korean cosmetics is on the rise, aided by the number of halal certification bodies (HCBs) in the country.
- International bodies also recognize it, and the government is pushing exports to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, thus, making South Korea a major market for halal cosmetics, which, in turn, may boost the market studied. The natural label claims of beauty products in this country have played a decisive role in the country's growth.
