What is Halal?
Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permitted. In reference to food, it is the dietary standard, as prescribed in the Qur'an (the Muslim scripture). The opposite of halal is haram, which means unlawful or prohibited. Halal and haram are universal terms that apply to all facets of life. These terms are commonly used in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and food contact materials.

In order for makeup to be considered halal and not haram, it must not contain any ingredients forbidden by Islamic law.

As long as the makeup adheres to these basic rules, it is considered halal and acceptable for Muslims to use. Many commercial lines of makeup are considered haram because they contain alcohol and pork byproducts, such as porcine (anything pig).
