Kao has released its halal-certified Biore Breeze deodorant in Indonesia and plans to produce halal sunscreen locally next year. The move targets Indonesia’s growing demand for halal products and adheres to regulations coming in 2026, requiring cosmetics to be halal-certified. The launch consists of a gel and spray-formulated antiperspirant designed for Indonesian women. The product was made with local consumers wearing a hijab in mind, as the country has a hot and humid climate. The formulation provides skin-friendly protection against odors while aligning with religious beliefs.
