Halal Cosmetic & Personal Care OEM Manufacturers in Malaysia: All 76 With JAKIM Records (2026)

Only 76 contract manufacturing plants in Malaysia hold JAKIM's cosmetics and personal care (KO) category. Against the 1,479 holding a food category, that is a small pool.

For a beauty brand owner, the number means your options are narrower than you might expect — and small enough to check in full.

The full list

A broad category, not a narrow one

The KO category does not mean "skincare factory". It covers soap, shampoo and toothpaste alongside skincare. A plant certifying antibacterial bar soap sits in the same category as one certifying serums.

That is why this list is alphabetical rather than ranked. To separate the factories genuinely producing skincare and colour cosmetics, we read the certified product names instead — the method is set out in our ranked article.

How this list was built

Every factory here was taken from JAKIM's own Halal Directory, captured on 5 August 2026. Nothing was added by invitation, payment or submission.

• Contract manufacturing only. The factory must hold JAKIM's OEM (pengilangan kontrak) category. Plants that only make their own products are out of scope.
• Classified by what they actually make. Taken straight from JAKIM's own category codes, so nothing here is inferred.
• Ranked on published records, not on our judgement of quality.

We classify by certified product names rather than by JAKIM's category code on purpose. The code is broad: filtering on "cosmetics & personal care" alone returns an edible-oils plant whose certified list is margarine and antibacterial soap. Reading the product names avoids that.

What this list cannot tell you

• Factories producing only under a client's certificate are invisible here. 221 of Malaysia's halal contract plants hold the OEM category and no product certificates of their own. They may be excellent; they simply have nothing for this method to count.
• "Brands certified" includes a factory's own brands. For a contract manufacturer most of those names are clients. For a large consumer-goods company, many will be its own labels. Read the number as certification breadth, not as a client list.
• Certification is not capability. JAKIM records say a product met the halal standard. They say nothing about capacity, minimum order quantity, lead time, price or quality systems.
