For ages, Zingiber officinale, or ginger, has been utilised as a culinary spice and medicinal purposes. Previous research has shown that ginger has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, and other pharmacological properties. Ginger has recently been included in natural product formulations such as cosmetics and personal care products due to its health benefits. In Al- Qur'an, ginger is mentioned in the term zanjabil as recorded in Surah Al-Insan verse 17. This verse explains that people in heaven are served with drinks mixed with ginger. However, the quality of ginger-based product especially personal care product for its microbiological status, heavy metal, and their potential as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial agent are unknown. Furthermore, the benefits of ginger to human health from Islamic properties are not well reported. The current study aims to assess the quality and safety of finished products of four types of ginger-based lotion (Losyen Mustajab Pati Halia) through laboratory experiment and was evaluated in terms of halalan thoyyiban concept through literature review assessment. The results showed that all types of ginger-based lotion tested are safe for consumers since the microbial content and heavy metal concentration are within the recommended guidelines. Remarkably, the lotions also postulated anti-inflammatory properties via the lipoxygenase and hyaluronidase pathways to varying degrees. However, the lotions are not marketed as anti-bacterial agents. From the point of halalan thoyyiban concept and proven by scientific findings, the ingredients used are clean, safe, good quality and no false claim element on the information displayed on the packaging. As conclusion, the result demonstrates the safety and quality of the ginger-based lotion as a daily personal care product, which fulfils consumers' expectations and needs.
