Cosmetics and personal care
Concept
Alcohol, collagen, glycerin and animal fats are the usual concerns.
Halal cosmetics are certified by several bodies. The common concerns are alcohol-based fragrance, collagen, placenta, tallow, glycerin and carmine. Scholars treat external use differently from food, so follow the authority you trust.
