Halal? So, is it edible? LOL! No way! So, is it sacrificed skincare? ROFL! No wayyy!
Well, Halal skincare and beauty is a pretty common notion around the world just like vegan brand and products. Though this concept is pretty new in India with the one and only Halal Certified Brand functioning as a pioneer in this field – Iba Cosmetics, yours truly!
Halal Cosmetics and Skincare isn’t towards any particular faith it is more about a ‘way of life and living.’ Just like going in for vegan products – you might not be a vegan by lifestyle but you’d rather pick your cosmetics and skincare that’s vegan; only reason – they’re pure and free from chemicals.
Similarly, Halal Means that which is lawful and permitted. Lot of cosmetics products available in the market contains non-halal ingredients such as pig fat, lanolin, carmine, keratin and alcohol.. these ingredients are neither halal nor vegan. Iba Cosmetics is the only brand in India that caters to both needs and is Halal Certified as well as Peta Certified Cruelty free and vegan.. Thus everyone can be rest assured to use its products.
