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.
| 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. | — | Unknown | — | |
Emulsifiers (general) | Many emulsifiers are plant-derived (e.g., polysorbate 20, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate) but require certification of plant origin and halal status [3]. | — | Unknown | — | |
Gelucire (lipid-based excipient) | Similar to Compritol, the origin of the lipids in Gelucire must be verified to determine halal status. | — | Unknown | — | |
Glycerin | Glycerin can be animal or plant-derived. Animal-derived (porcine) is haram. Must verify source (palm is standard halal alternative) [1]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Labrasol (lipid-based excipient) | The source and processing of the lipids in Labrasol are key to assessing its halal compliance. | — | Unknown | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Gattefossé SAS, as a specialist in lipid-based excipients like Compritol, Gelucire, and Labrasol, faces an 'unknown' halal risk for these core products. The primary concern for these and other potential ingredients like glycerin and emulsifiers is the source of the lipids and any animal-derived components, particularly porcine [1]. For European B2B buyers targeting Malaysia (MY) and UAE (AE), Gattefossé would need to provide detailed halal certification for its lipid-based excipients, confirming plant-derived sources where applicable. This would address the current 'not_assessed' halal position and unlock significant market opportunities in the $78 billion global halal cosmetics market [2, 3].
