You deserve cleaner, safer, gentler beauty and skincare products, free from the questionable additives and hidden fillers that leave you wondering what you’re really putting on your face. 

You also want to feel good about how you nurture your skin, and try to make ethical, conscious choices in everything you do. 

That’s where halal skincare products come in. 

But what is halal beauty, and what should you look for on the label to make sure you’re getting Mother Earth’s finest? 

These formulations don’t have any prohibited ingredients like alcohol or pork derivatives. They’re made with integrity and designed to be both pure and effective. It’s the opposite of what the mainstream beauty industry delivers. But that’s exactly what makes it so special.

Let us help you jumpstart your halal beauty regimen with the only product you need: our halal goat milk soap at Oshun. Less is more, and we’ve brought together 11 ingredients from Mother Earth for a ritual that delivers halal-friendly luxury every single day.

What is Halal Beauty?

So, what is halal beauty? Simple - it’s the highest clean beauty standard. 

It’s rooted in the Islamic principles of purity, safety, and integrity. Halal translates to “permissible” in Arabic, and has guided what Muslim people consume and put on their skin for centuries. But it also speaks to what you can put on your skin and body.

In essence, something is halal if it’s free from alcohol, pork derivatives, and non-halal animal by-products. It also has to be made in a very particular way. Ethical sourcing, safe manufacturing, and a respect for both people and the planet are non-negotiable.

Be clear, though - halal skincare products aren’t just for Muslims. The global beauty industry has been slow to catch up, but we’re in the midst of a revolution as more and more people realize these standards make sense for everyone.

Think about it. You’re getting products created with transparency, made from ingredients your body actually recognizes, and packaged with care. Who doesn’t want that?

Why Halal Beauty Products Are Better

Halal beauty raises the bar for what skincare should be. Here’s why you’re hearing more and more about it, and why it’s time you may be ready to embrace it for yourself.

A Promise of Purity

Halal skincare products are crafted with strict guidelines in place to ensure safety, integrity, and transparency are never compromised. It takes a lot of stress out of shopping. 

You see the “certified halal” label, and you know it’s free from prohibited ingredients like alcohol or pork derivatives and that it’s made with care at every step. You can place your order with peace of mind.

Avoiding What Your Skin Doesn’t Need

Here’s one of the many ugly truths about modern skincare: products are LOADED with ingredients your skin doesn’t recognize. 

Foaming agents, fillers, and preservatives - these don’t serve you. They just leave you feeling stripped, irritated, or dependent on MORE products. That soap that dries you out forces you to buy a moisturizer. Then you need to add a toner. 

It’s a vicious cycle, but halal beauty is your one-way ticket off the hamster wheel. Halal skincare takes a less-is-more approach, leaving your skin to do what it does best: stay balanced, hydrated, and resilient without needing ten other steps to “fix” the damage.

Naturally Better for Sensitive Skin

Halal beauty products are a breath of fresh air if you struggle with sensitivity, eczema, or acne flare-ups. So if you’re looking for the best soap for sensitive skin, your search ends here.

There are no harsh additives to make matters worse, just ingredients your skin remembers - oils, clays, botanicals, and minerals. Less stress on your skin means fewer breakouts, less redness, and more calm overall.

Ethical & Sustainable by Design

Halal is more than just avoiding what’s forbidden. It zooms in on how products are actually made - ingredients don’t always paint the full picture.

This usually means cruelty-free testing, ethical sourcing, and production that doesn’t cut corners at the planet’s expense. You’re voting for sustainability when you shop with Halal skincare brands.

Less wasteful packaging, fewer toxic chemicals in the water supply, and more respect for the animals and communities behind each ingredient. That’s something we can all get behind.

Halal Meets Conscious Luxury For All

The thing is, halal beauty isn’t just for Muslim consumers. Anyone seeking skincare that feels good, works with their body, and aligns with values of honesty and care naturally makes the upgrade.

A lot of people think Aesop soap or 10-step Korean skincare when envisioning luxury beauty. But the best luxury soap and skincare pampers your skin while honoring your spirit and the earth. It doesn’t hide behind flashy marketing or complicated ingredient labels.

There’s never been a better time to switch to halal skincare. We’ll help you take the first step below.

Which Beauty Products Are Halal? Tips For Uncovering Halal Skincare Products

Halal skincare products have traditionally been tough to uncover because most brands care more about their bottom line than what goes into sourcing and manufacturing their products. Fortunately, that’s changing. 

We have a full halal soap list here in our blog, but let’s hone in on what you should look for as you upgrade your ritual with halal beauty products. 

First, Know That “Vegan” Doesn’t Mean Halal

One of the most common misconceptions we see is that vegan = halal. They’re very different. Vegan just means no animal-derived ingredients. Halal goes far further, examining how ingredients are sourced and whether they meet religious standards of purity.

For instance, a vegan product could still contain alcohol - and you’d be left wondering why your skin is still screaming for relief. There’s some overlap, but halal reigns supreme here.

Common Ingredients in Skincare That Aren’t Halal

Non-halal ingredients aren’t always easy to spot. Here are some often overlooked red flags:

• Alcohol shows up in toners and perfumes. 
• Collagen and gelatin are often derived from non-halal animal sources. 
• Carmine (the red pigment in some lipsticks) comes from insects. 
• Fragrance can hide a cocktail of questionable additives.

Just remember the ingredients are only one piece of the puzzle. Your best bet is to look for a certified halal label so you can rest assured they were sourced ethically, crafted with care, and packaged sustainably. 

Cleansers, Oils, Masks That Actually Nourish

The best halal skincare products lean on ingredients your body already knows how to use. Think goat milk, shea butter, olive oil, honey, and clays.

These cleanse, hydrate, and restore without layering on synthetic foaming agents or fillers. A good halal cleanser or mask leaves your skin in zen-mode, not tight, raw, or ready for 10 other steps.

From Lip Balms to Foundations Without the Hidden Fillers

Makeup has its own pitfalls. Lipsticks and balms are notorious for hiding animal-derived waxes or carmine. Foundations often rely on chemical emulsifiers that don’t meet halal standards.

Halal beauty products swap these out for mineral pigments, plant-based waxes, and nourishing oils that deliver the same performance without compromise.

What to Look For Beyond the Face

Halal beauty isn’t just about skincare and makeup. Shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and even perfumes can all have non-halal alcohols, stabilizers, and animal derivatives.

If you’re serious about moving towards halal beauty, rethink everything that comes in contact with your body, from the products in your shower to what you spritz on before heading out the door.
