Makeup containing ingredients derived from animals that were not slaughtered according to Islamic law is considered not halal. This includes products with ingredients like:
- Animal fat: Such as lard, tallow, and lanolin.
- Animal blood: Including blood from animals not slaughtered in accordance with Islamic rites.
- Animal urine and feces: These are strictly prohibited in Islam.
- Animal placenta: This is also considered impure and prohibited.
It is important to note that while a product might be vegan or cruelty-free, this doesn't automatically make it halal. Halal certification is crucial to ensure the product complies with Islamic guidelines.
To find halal makeup, look for:
- Products with halal certification: These brands undergo rigorous testing to ensure their ingredients and manufacturing processes are compliant.
- Ingredients lists that are free of animal-derived components: Read the ingredient list carefully to ensure the product doesn't contain any prohibited substances.
- Brands that explicitly state they are halal: Many brands are now catering to the Muslim market and clearly label their products as halal.
