Cosmetics can be defined as serving to beautify by imparting or improving the beauty of the human. Men and women use cosmetics products to affect impressions of attractiveness and morality significantly. This review paper discusses the issues faced by the cosmetic industry and consumers in Malaysia. The halal dimensions of cosmetics and personal care products include materials and all manufacturing procedures right up to customer distribution, protection, and product effectiveness tests. Lighter and fairer skin is something that everyone craves. However, some cosmetic products can affect health and affect the economy and research development. Due to increasing local awareness regarding cosmetic products, the government has enforced a law that states all cosmetic sellers must register all cosmetic products before sell in the current market to ensure the consumer can use the quality product. There are also several ways to overcome the challenges and improvements in cosmetic industries implemented by different sectors.
