Indonesian beauty market expansion continues

Overview

Indonesia’s beauty sector continues to blend domestic innovation with expanding export ambitions, driven by scientific advancements and regulatory compliance. The industry is seeing a rise in high-tech treatments, such as PolyPhil®, a regenerative cosmetic using purified freshwater trout DNA to enhance collagen and elastin production.

Consumer demand is increasingly focused on safety and cultural standards, with 35 local brands, including Wardah and Emina, securing both BPOM registration and MUI halal certification in 2026. Beauty Talk recently joined this trend by launching a halal-certified body care line. This shift toward certified, scientifically backed products is supported by a growing contract manufacturing (maklon) industry, which assists entrepreneurs with R&D and the complex BPOM legal clearance process.

Market strategies emphasize personalization and affordability. Bali-based Sensatia has refined its personalized skincare using stabilized natural extracts, while Somethinc has expanded its lip-product catalogue. Similarly, Brandlokal Oh My Glam (OMG) has grown its affordable lip line, alongside a focus on dermatologist-endorsed ingredients like mandelic acid for sensitive skin.

Export efforts are also diversifying. While Indonesian firms targeted US$1.4 million in potential deals at Cosmobeauté Philippines 2026, the brand Lana Tumbavani has begun exporting lemongrass essential oils to the United States, following existing trade in Malaysia and Nepal. These developments highlight a broader movement toward both high-value niche exports and large-scale regional distribution.
