Brand Philosophy

What does Halal mean?

Halal is an Arabic word for ‘that which is lawful or permitted’. The word Halal may bring the thought of food to mind, but it is actually a universal tenet that applies to all aspect of life and not just food. If a product is Halal certified, it doesn’t contain alcohol, animal ingredients and harsh chemicals and is not tested on animals, so it gives people the reassurance that it is pure and natural. Halal is for everyone. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Muslim or not – Halal is the ultimate stamp of purity and safety guaranteeing superior quality products.

Why should I use Halal Cosmetics?

Halal cosmetics are ethical beauty products rooted in the science of ‘Halal’ and free of impurities such as pig fat, gelatin, keratin and other animal derived ingredients, alcohol and harsh chemicals such as sulfates and parabens commonly found in many popular brands’ products. Halal cosmetics are not merely natural but also pure and hygienically manufactured, vegan and animal cruelty free. Such products are bound to be better for us as well as for our environment.
