So if you run this brand, please claim this listing to add photos, opening hours, prices and contact details. As a result, more people can find and trust your business.
What makes cosmetics halal?
Halal cosmetics avoid ingredients from pigs and non-halal animals. They also avoid alcohol from forbidden sources. In addition, many Muslim women look for nail polish that lets water reach the nail, because this matters for wudu (ablution).
- Check for a recognised halal certification body on the pack or website.
- Look out for animal-derived ingredients such as carmine, collagen and some glycerin.
- For nail polish, ask whether the brand has tested water permeability, not just the ingredients.
- Vegan and cruelty-free labels help, but they do not replace halal certification.
