Body lotion and body wash OEM for Saudi Arabia: how are fragrance allergens, halal sourcing and labeling handled?
For Saudi Arabian OEM body care, handle fragrance allergens, halal, and labeling per SFDA regulations. Allergens must be calculated item-by-item against the official list, with different thresholds for rinse-off and leave-on. Halal certification requires individual declarations from the fragrance supplier for each raw material and solvent to prevent animal-derived fixatives. Labels must include mandatory Arabic and be free of pork derivatives, while halal certification is not legally mandatory but can be a plus.
1Allergen Regulations
Allergens must be calculated item-by-item against the SFDA list. Thresholds differ for leave-on vs. rinse-off products. Products lacking IFRA and allergen declaration files cannot be exported.
2Halal Sourcing
If claiming halal, the supplier must provide individual declarations for each material and solvent. Focus on animal-derived fixatives and ethanol sources, which are the most common failure points.
3Labeling Requirements
Mandatory bilingual (Arabic/English) labels, including INCI, function, and batch info. The formula must be free of pork derivatives. Fragrances must be labeled, and absolute 'fragrance-free' claims are prohibited.
Follow-up questions
- Q:Is Halal certification mandatory?
- A:Halal certification is not legally mandatory under SFDA, but zero pork derivatives is a strict labeling requirement.
- Q:What if the fragrance supplier lacks the files?
- A:Lacking files means lacking safety assessment basis; the product cannot enter the formula or ship.
