Walking through aisles of beauty products at malls and markets, endlessly scrolling through online stores to find that perfect lip shade or nail polish? Frustrated, you choose to walk away or just close the tab on your device because the\u00a0halal<\/em>\u00a0sign is missing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What a disappointment!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Halal means \u2018lawful\u2019 in Arabic. The halal concept is mostly recognized in the food sector. However, it is also applied to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, clothing, finance, travel, media, and recreation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The concept of \u2018Halal\u2019 revolves around the lifestyle needs of every practicing Muslim. \u2018Halal\u2019 is not only limited to the food we consume, it is also what we use for our body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The cosmetics sector is highly influenced by the rising awareness among Muslims globally, The\u00a0Statista<\/a>\u00a0report published in May 2021 states the overall global expenditure on cosmetics by Muslims was around 66 billion U.S. dollars as of 2019.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cosmetic products can be defined as essential for everyone; women, men, and babies as well. There is an\u00a0extensive list of products<\/a>\u00a0that broadly fall under the following categories:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Skin Care:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Hair Care:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Oral Care:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Nail Products:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. Products Influencing Body Odour:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is definitely an overlap between natural and halal cosmetic products. Natural products are organic, vegan, environmentally conscious and cruelty-free and may have alcohol. While halal products do not contain forbidden animal substances, alcohol or contamination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When buying cosmetic products, halal certification plays a pivotal role. Halal certification stamps assure products are\u00a0shariah<\/em>\u00a0compliant. Products and application tools cannot contain\u00a0haram<\/em> substances. This includes the sourcing of ingredients derived from plants and animals both natural and synthetic, that are decreed haram for humans. The products should not contain sulfates (including SLS and SLES), parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates, and mineral oils. Production, manufacturing, handling, storing and distribution processes should follow Islamic protocols.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some protocols or Islamic laws include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Natural products are not labeled halal. Therefore, they do not necessarily have to go through these inspections. Halal-certified beauty products offer us a guarantee and trust that strict regulations according to Islamic law are adhered to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lipsticks may be unintentionally consumed while eating or drinking. Perfumes and fragrances can be inhaled incidentally, Nail paints can be an issue before every prayer. Islamic values definitely influence our choices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The primary reason to opt for halal products is\u00a0wudhu.\u00a0<\/em>While doing\u00a0wudhu<\/em>\u00a0we allow water to pass through and touch our hands, lower arms, face, head, hair, and feet. Thus, we require breathable and permeable cosmetic products. Ingredients like silicone and lacquer prevent water from getting into the skin;\u00a0ethanol<\/a>\u00a0seeps into our skin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our digital generation is highly connected. This globalization, access to research, and technological advances have created an insightful opportunity for halal consumers to make smart choices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brands like Unilever, Beiersdorf and L’Oreal are a few multinational brands converting their supply chains for the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The physical and increasing social media presence of brands also efficiently provides for the increasing demands of the Muslim community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Halal goes beyond selecting beauty products. It is a guide for a well-conditioned life. More brands are beginning to seek halal certification for their products, helping us reach a balance between beauty and faith.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you have a favourite brand or product you live by? <\/p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Walking through aisles of beauty products at malls and markets, endlessly scrolling through online stores to find that perfect lip shade or nail polish?
