Muslimah-Friendly Makeup Brands You Should Stock Up On

Prior to brands opting to be vegan or cruelty-free, our Muslimah beauty babes have had to balance faith and beauty with halal cosmetic products.

Beauty is a big part of every girl’s life so in a bid to be inclusive, brands have opted to go the halal and cruelty-free route. Although many mainstream brands have yet to opt to create a range of halal certified products, these brands have heard the plea of our muslimah sisters and produced a wide range of makeup and skincare products that are cruelty-free, alcohol-free, and vegan.
