What you need to know about Halal Skincare Products

For years, Muslim women and men have been looking for halal skincare and beauty products that fit their lifestyle, but this spike in demand has only recently resulted in broad awareness in this field.

What is halal skincare and why does it matter?

To the joy of many faith-driven Muslims, Halal beauty has surged into the cosmetics business and is increasingly shining under the spotlight. Looking at search trends over the previous five years, demand in halal makeup has increased tenfold!

To answer the question of what caused this surge in interest in a previously unknown area, we must first ask what halal skincare is, what makes it unique and why it is essential to Muslims.

Halal skincare products;

  • Use natural plant-based ingredients
  • Are free from animal by-products, alcohol and parabens.
  • Produced using equipment and materials that comply with Islamic laws.

Coupled with the increased desire for natural, organic, and cruelty-free products, firms like Anaaka Cosmetics, which must adhere to these values in order to be Halal certified, are in great demand.

What is the difference between halal & vegan cosmetics products?

Vegan goods strive to eliminate all animal-based elements, but halal cosmetics may contain animal substances that are allowed under Islamic law, such as honey.

Many corporations remove the word “animal” off their labels, instead using words like “hydrolyzed collagen” instead of “hydrolyzed animal protein,” so most people are unaware of what’s inside the products they use.

You can check if the product is vegan by using these methods.

  1. Check the package for “vegan” or the V symbol.
  2. Check the allergen warnings for milk, eggs or other animal produce.
  3. Scan the ingredients list from top to bottom and look out for the terms on this list.
