Halal cosmetics are formulated, manufactured and packaged so that every ingredient and process step complies with Islamic law: no prohibited animal derivatives, controlled alcohol use, and full segregation from non-compliant products.
The source matters at every stage: a formulation can be free of listed animal ingredients and still fail certification through tallow-derived glycerin, an ethanol carrier or a shared filling line.
