Is this patchouli oil halal and kosher certified?
Patchouli oil is botanically pure steam-distilled oil from dried fermented leaves with no animal-derived inputs, so it is inherently suitable for halal and kosher markets. Certification by accredited bodies (e.g. MUI for halal, OK Kosher or similar for kosher) is available for the corresponding grade and volume order.
Certification Status
| Certification | Standard grade | Certified grade (on request) |
|---|---|---|
| Halal (MUI Indonesia / HAS 23000) | Suitable by composition | Yes — certified batch |
| Kosher (OK / Star-K) | Suitable by composition | Yes — certified batch |
| Vegan / cruelty-free | Yes — plant origin, no animal testing | — |
Why Patchouli Is Halal/Kosher Suitable
- Single botanical source (Pogostemon cablin); no animal fats, enzymes or processing aids of animal origin
- Steam distillation with water only; no alcohol or solvent residue
- Production line dedicated to essential oils with cleaning records to prevent cross-contact
How to Order Certified Material
- Specify the required certification and destination market at quotation stage
- Certified batches carry the certificate issued by the accredited body and are documented on the COA
- Minimum volumes may apply for certified runs; lead time is confirmed at ordering
- Halal documentation for Indonesia-bound cargo is particularly important — please flag it early
