What Is Halal Beauty

Halal beauty means brands that manufacture products that have their ingredients and processes certified as halal. This means no alcohol or pork-related ingredients (for Muslims), no animal testing, and ethical sourcing of ingredients. The halal beauty industry is growing rapidly fast. Thus, you’d be surprised to know that many mainstream beauty brands such as L’Oréal, Lush and Mecca Cosmetica are joining the bandwagon too!

Additionally, each country’s halal certification authority is different. In Singapore, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). Whereas Malaysia’s Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and Indonesia’s Indonesian Council of Ulama—issues the certification (MUI). Thus, obtaining the halal seal of approval can be a lengthy but rewarding procedure due to the various stages and steps required.

Zahara nail polishes are free of many chemicals generally found in many nail polishes. Their nail polishes are available in a wide range of colours, from delicate pastels to vivid shades for trendy nail art. They even provide base and top coats to maintain your nails healthy and prevent your manicure from chipping.

Moreover, their nail polish formula undergoes extensive testing. Their nail polishes are made with a special formula that allows water and oxygen to pass through. Traditionally, the molecules were densely packed together, leaving little room for any particles to get through on a molecular level. To add, this innovation has made performing ablution easier for Muslims who wear their nail polish.
