“…Recently, the researchers and practitioners have given more attention to the "halalness" concept and factors that affect buying or consumption behavior of Muslim consumers (Wilson, 2014). However, most of the existing literature is focused on food and the halal issues of the cosmetic industry are relatively neglected (Abd Rahman et al, 2015;Annabi and Ibidanpo-Obe, 2017;Mohezar et al, 2016;Haque et al, 2018). Nevertheless, there is momentum in recent halal studies that attempt to explore halal issues related to other consumer products such as cosmetics.…”

“…Muslim consumers are unique in the sense they need to abide with halal requirement as prescribed in Islamic teachings. According to Annabi and Ibidanpo-Obe (2017), Mohezar et al (2016), Saqib et al (2016) and Abd Rahman et al (2015), although halal cosmetics are a relatively minor issue compared to halal food, there is growing awareness of halal cosmetics and personal care products among Muslim consumers. Based on Abd Rahman et al (2015), consumers hold varying attitudes about halal between food and cosmetic products.…”

“…As a result, it is necessary to conduct a specific study on cosmetic products among Muslim consumers. This is because the halal concept is not merely restricted to food but includes all ranges of products and services consumed by Muslim individuals (Annabi and Ibidanpo-Obe, 2017). Halal cosmetics differ from ordinary cosmetic products, because halal cosmetics should not contain any traces of porcine by-products and their derivatives, alcohol and other prohibited materials according to Islamic guidelines.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to describe cosmetics purchase behavior of young, educated Muslim females in Malaysia and to explore its relationship with certain potential antecedents. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a survey on a sample of female consumers from four higher education institutions in the urban area of Bangi Selangor, Malaysia. From their respective institutions, 150 respondents were selected through the purposive sampling method. Self-administered questionnaire has been used to gather information from the respondents. The survey data were analyzed using descriptive, t-test and correlation analyses to accomplish the study objectives. Findings The study indicates that millennial Muslim cosmetic purchase behavior falls under the “Limited Decision Making” classification. The classification is due to the pattern of pro-active behaviors exhibit through the information search for details about ingredients, halal clue, countries of origin, health safety guarantee and the benefits of the cosmetic products. Young, educated female consumers adore branded cosmetic items and show willingness to accept higher prices for the branded items. Despite brand consciousness, they demonstrate a relatively high concern on the halalness of the product. Based on the correlation analysis, all variables were found to be significant and the most significant of them was brand. Research limitations/implications Millennial consumers are information technology savvy and have access to vast information about products. As a result, the findings reiterate that millennial consumers demonstrate different purchase behavior, which is worth exploring by future researchers. In addition, other latent antecedents such as religiosity and world view are worth including in future studies. Practical implications Cosmetic manufacturers and marketers must ensure that their products signal positive images to fit the expectations of young and educated Muslim consumers. Although brand conscious, such consumers demonstrate prudent behavior in terms of searching for halalan and toyyiban products. Originality/value This study adds value in the area of halal product marketing because of two unique focuses. First, it examines the purchase of cosmetic products, which are relatively understudied compared to halal food. Second, it considers the perspectives of educated Muslim millennials, who are expected to demonstrate more specific purchase behaviors than a generalized millennial group. Therefore, the originality of this study revolves around the consideration of these two aspects, which are relevant to contemporary business marketing discussions.

“…Further, they highlighted that ASEAN countries have potential to harmonise the halal certification system because they understand the halal practices. Annabi and Ibidapo-Obe (2017) investigated the role of halal certification in assuring the quality of halal cosmetics and found that there is a failure to adopt holistic halal terminology.

Purpose Higher level of customer satisfaction for halal products can be achieved by the effective adoption of halal certification through assessment and accreditation (HCAA). There are certain issues that seem detrimental towards the adoption of HCAA. The purpose of this paper is to identify the major barriers towards the adoption of HCAA and evaluate inter-relationships among them for developing the strategies to mitigate these barriers. Design/methodology/approach The barriers towards the adoption of HCAA are identified through an integrative approach of literature review and expert’s opinion. The inter-relationship among the identified barriers is evaluated using fuzzy-based decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) technique, which categorises them into influential and influenced group. Findings The evaluation of inter-relationship among barriers using fuzzy DEMATEL indicates four influencing barriers and six influenced barriers towards the adoption of HCAA. Further, findings suggest an extensive government, and management support is vital in terms of commitment, resources and actions to realise the benefits attributed with HCAA. Research limitations/implications The inter-relationship among barriers is contextual and based on the perception of experts which may be biased as per their background and area of expertise. This study pertains to a specific region and can be extended to the generalised certification system. Originality/value The empirical base of the research provides the inter-relationship among the barriers towards the adoption of HCAA which can be effectively used as input in the decision-making process by producers, manufacturers and distributor. The policy maker can analyse the cause group and effect group of barriers to formulate policies that would help in the adoption of HCAA.

Purpose Need for effective adoption of halal certification through assessment and accreditation (HCAA) is imperative for the higher level of customer satisfaction. To achieve this, all stakeholders need to be involved in developing the policy. Thus, this study aims to identify barriers to the adoption of HCAA and analyses through structural model of interrelated barriers Design/methodology/approach The structural and hierarchical model of barriers to the adoption of HCAA is developed after extensive systematic literature survey along with opinions from various types of experts. Interpretive structural modelling is identified as the appropriate tool in making this model, which is further analysed using MICMAC (Matriced’ Impacts croises-multipication applique’ and classment). Corresponding issues for every barrier as identified may help in further developing the action plan for each stakeholder. Objectives and action plan for various stakeholders were evolved and provided. Findings The significant finding indicates to developing a globally accepted halal certifying organisation, as to contain the mislabelling, and this further needs extensive government and customer support. The customer needs to be more aware of the proper idea of halal. Therefore, to succeed, the industry needs to develop a brand identity with a distinct/unique/clear marketing message, not just certifying products/services as halal. Originality/value Specific direction for different stakeholders has been derived along with academic finding for researchers and to further develop the action plan.
