Whether you’re a practicing Muslim, a vegan or just want to stay gorgeous without using toxic chemicals, you’ll love these natural halal beauty brands!
By Sophia Hussain
It’s a bit of a truism that Muslim women love to be beautiful. They line their eyes with kohl, wear the finest perfumes, are always perfectly manicured. But those who are the most devout can face obstacles. What if their cosmetics contain ingredients forbidden by their faith? Some forbidden – or ‘haram’ in Arabic – ingredients commonly found in cosmetics include alcohol, pig-derived collagen or gelatin, or pig derived fat. In fact, it could be argued that Muslim women should use only vegan brands, as their religion demands that should never harm or abuse animals for the sake of beauty.
Another no-no ingredient for strict Muslim women is a very common one: alcohol. This is almost impossible to avoid in facial toners, hair conditioners and even face creams.
What is Wudu?
To complicate matters even further, historically, Muslim women couldn’t wear nail polish because of wudu – a ritual washing of the hands, lower arms, face, head, and feet that is performed before praying.
Wudu is a ritual of purification, and to be performed in the correct (halal) manner, water must touch all parts of the aforementioned body parts. Many Muslim women have foregone wearing nail polish because by applying the lacquer to their nails they would be blocking water from touching them.
Step in halal (‘permissible’ in Arabic) beauty products. These are cosmetics that are sure not to contain any haram ingredients, and are usually also made by Muslims, and/or halal certified by a religious leader. Halal nail polish will be water-permeable, meaning it’s suitable for wudu. Fortunately, many halal beauty brands offer fabulous luxe options to enhance beauty regimens today.
Why non-Muslims should use clean halal beauty products
You certainly don’t need to be Muslim to enjoy halal beauty products! These are great for everyone, since they’re free from so many nasties. These include no alcohol or animal parts, which means they’re usually perfect for vegans (but check the label – they might use milk or honey, for example).
I’ve collected some highlights of the best natural halal beauty brands from around the globe, which means you can find a halal beauty option for you, no matter where you live.
Most of these companies ship internationally, and they are all free from alcohol, animal-derived components, harmful chemicals, and are cruelty-free, too.

PHB was founded in 2012 by Rose Brown, a vegetarian, animal lover, and daughter of Jimmy Brown. You music buffs will know he was in the famous 90’s British pop/reggae band UB40. Rose discovered that there was a lack of vegan products on the market, which prompted her to create PHB, or Pure Health and Beauty.
This Birmingham-based family business is one of the most comprehensive natural halal beauty brands.
You can choose from an extensive range of hand-made, halal certified [by the Halal Cosmetics Standards Agency UK], natural, and vegan-certified beauty products.

Inglot
Whilst Poland has only a teeny weeny Muslim population, this is the land where one of the most popular natural halal beauty brands comes from: Inglot.
With prayers five times a day and a pre-prayer ritual that requires washing the hands and arms, traditional fingernail polish has been mostly off limits for Muslim women. Why? Because it prevents water from making contact with the nails. But Inglot’s revolutionary ‘breathable’ nail polish solves that problem.
The polish was the first ever on the market to let air and moisture pass through to the nail. And thanks to its permeability, it complies with Muslim law. And did I mention it comes in a whole rainbow of amazing shades?
What they offer: Skincare, colour cosmetics, nail polish and more
One of the best natural halal beauty brands for: Their famous nail polishes! They come in such a wide range of colours. But honestly, once you see their gorgeous colour cosmetics, you’ll want to try a full makeup look.
