Halal Access Partners is not a certification body. Layers marked "Compliant" or "Non-compliant" reflect our assessment based on public documents, uploaded certificates and supplier-submitted evidence — they are not a certifier's ruling. Rows tagged AI-inferred were extracted by our classifier and have not yet been reviewed by a human analyst.
Third-party certificates on file are shown as evidence with their original scope, expiry and issuer — always verify them with the certifier before purchase. See ourmethodology.
Halal Compliance Stack
Every supplier is assessed across seven independent layers. Layers marked "unassessed" are shown honestly — they haven't been proven either way.
Raw-material inputs have been AI-assessed; buyer diligence should verify supplier declarations and halal evidence for each flagged input.
| Status | Input | Why it matters | Source | Status | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Compritol (lipid-based excipient) — | As a lipid-based excipient, the source of the lipids (animal, plant, or synthetic) is a critical control point for halal compliance. Specific details are needed, as many fatty acid derivatives are high risk [2]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Emulsifiers (general) — | Many emulsifiers (E471, Polysorbates) are high risk due to their fatty acid source, which can be animal or plant. Certification of plant origin and halal status is required [3], [4], [5]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Gelucire (lipid-based excipient) — | Similar to Compritol, the origin of the lipids in Gelucire must be verified to determine halal status, as fatty acid derivatives are high risk [2]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Glycerin — | Glycerin can be animal or plant-derived. Animal-derived (porcine) is haram. Must verify source (palm is standard halal alternative) [1]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Labrasol (lipid-based excipient) — | The source and processing of the lipids in Labrasol are key to assessing its halal compliance, as fatty acid derivatives are high risk [2]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Gattefossé SAS, as a specialist in lipid-based excipients for the cosmetics sector, faces significant halal compliance challenges due to the high-risk nature of its core raw materials. Inputs like Compritol, Gelucire, Labrasol, Glycerin, and general Emulsifiers are all flagged as 'high risk' because their halal status is entirely dependent on the source of their fatty acids or lipids, which can be animal (potentially haram) or plant-derived [2], [4], [5]. For European B2B buyers targeting Malaysia (MY) and UAE (AE), thorough due diligence is required to verify the plant origin and halal certification of these lipid-based ingredients. Without this, the company's overall halal position remains unassessed, representing a critical audit gap for market entry.
