When a brand assesses a factory, one practical question is: how wide a range are they already used to handling?
One way to measure that is the number of skincare and colour cosmetic products certified at that plant. We counted every SKU in JAKIM's Halal Directory, then filtered to factories that genuinely specialise in this category.

A wide range means something specific
A factory with 180 certified skincare SKUs has been through the certification process repeatedly, across different product types — serums, creams, cleansers, sun care, colour. Each carries its own raw material questions.
That is accumulated regulatory experience, and it lowers the risk that your product is the first case of its kind they have handled.
Why this differs from our brands list
We also rank the same factories by brand count. The order changes — and the difference is informative. A plant can have many SKUs for few clients (a large producer for a handful of brands), or few SKUs for many clients (small-batch work).
Neither is better. They describe different kinds of business.
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. A factory counts as a skincare or cosmetics plant when at least five of its certified products are skincare or colour cosmetics, and those make up at least 40% of its certified range.
- 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.
