In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
NOTE: Please keep this handy blog post saved in your favourites or linked in your blog sidebar as it will be updated with new product review's inshallah.
- BRANDED AS "HALAL or HALAL CERTIFIED"
Pure Halal Beauty
Cruelty free? Yes, inshallah
Good to know: The shop in England has a variety of products and brands. It's the first store of its kind in the United Kingdom and is the creation of 20 year old Rose Brown, daughter of UB40 drummer Jimmy Brown. The store is located on the 2nd Floor of the Pavilions Shopping Centre, London. Report from Dec 9th 2010. Skin care products for men and women, also including halal make up!
My thoughts: Fab! I hope I get to visit it one day. If anyone has visited this shop then please let me know! I wasn't aware of it until I was researching for this blog post. If you are like me and cannot make it to London I have linked their website above.
Contains alcohol? No, the site mentions that all products are halal certified
Hussana
Cruelty free? Yes, inshallah
Good to know: Halal certified, which will be hard to find on the more mainstream products, Baby skin care range, anyone can become a Hussana sales agent and earn commission for their work (similar to Avon).
My thoughts: Great initiative, as it is something which the market is lacking. We just need more Muslims to buy it rather than all the products with the nasties inside! I have a free sample of hand cream, I will let you know how it goes!
Contains alcohol? No
HAWAS Therapeutic
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Made in England. Looking at the very few ingredients it seems very pure, almost as though anyone could make it in their own My thoughts: I received this from The Islamic Establishment in Leicester. I am still yet to try it out. The only problem that I found was that there isn't a website for them (hawas) which is odd. All informoation provided is what is on the tub. If you have ever tried these products then please let me know! :)
Contains alcohol? No
Samina Make-up
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Halal approved make-up. Medium to low priced make-up.
My thoughts: Proffessional site, prices seem reasonable for the quality products. However if you are used to paying MAC prices there's no bother, you will actually save with them whilst giving your skin the best ingredientsContains alcohol? No
The Alcohol Free Shop
Cruelty free? Yes, inshallah
Good to know: this site has lots of other alcohol free products but the page linked above share some halal certified brands such as Hussana and some others which we have not come across yet including: Saaf Organic and Tom's Of Maine
My thoughts: Look and ye shall find!
Contains alcohol? No

My thoughts: I cannot wait to try them out!

Dr Organic
Cruelty free? Yes

My thoughts: I saw a review on youtube by a fellow hijabi which got me searching for them. I would definetely try them in the future

Montagne Jeunesse (Face and Hair masks)
Cruelty free? YES
Good to know: All products are vegetarian certified however most are Suitable For Vegans, Gluten Free, Dairy Free with No Added Parabens
My thoughts: I have tried one face mask, it worked ok. I will try them again in the future inshallah. I hope to find more companies like this one who avoid all the nasties.

The Argan Oil we use is organic, as are our Burdock Fruit Oil, Jojoba Oil, Chamomile Oil and Aloe Vera Gel...Different ranges do actually contain animal by-products to read more, click the link to read the full email I received from NIVEA.

Jergens
Cruelty Free? Yes
Good to know: 95% natural ingredients! Click the link to see what they said about their ingredients
My thoughts: I use the skin firming moisturiser and it smells really nice (pomegranate!). I would try more of the products

Superdrug (own brand)
Cruelty Free? Yes
Good to know: Products are usually cheaper than name brands. I was unable to find ingredients for their naturals range online, however they sent an email about their product contents. 
My thoughts: The lip tins are a great alternative to the vaselines ones. I have heard great things about them but am yet to try them out. I will be stopping by next time i'm in town. If you have tried their own brand you can leave some feedback here

Macleans
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Click the link to read the email i received from them regarding testing a ingredients
My thoughts: I am currently using this toothpaste so am very happy to know that it is animal product free and therefore halal inshallah.
Contains alcohol? No, not as far as i can see (using Macleans: Total Health)
Palmer'sCruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Can use it whilst pregnant, smells amazing, DOES contain animal by products(!)
My thoughts: I used in on my thighs and glutes - not any more. I will find an alternative.

Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Organic balms, made in UK, a favourite of Harry Potter star Emma Watson, just 4.99 GBP, no petroleum used
My thoughts: I really think the packaging is very appealing and would love to try them. I added them here as an alternative to the vaseline tins!
Treacle Moon
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Ingredients suitable for vegetarians, smells amazing, they do charity work for disadvantaged families in Khandel and the villages surrounding it, located in the desert state of Rajasthan, India. Exclusive to Tesco however you can forget them and buy straight through their website (other flavours are available too, I love the names of them too).My thoughts: I was gifted 'The Raspberry Kiss' body scrub last year and I really enjoy using it. You can tell the difference straight away. I usually can't stand the sensation of body scrubs but I pulled through with this one! I will be using it again.
Contains alcohol? varies - check the label
OPI
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Awaiting reply on ingredients, their colour names are funky. Picture shown here is called "do you lilac it?"
My thoughts: wearing nail polish voids your wudu as the water cannot reach your nail which is required to complete ablution. Therefore some Muslimah's choose to wear it on their break which is fine or sometimes to a party where it can be removed before the next salah.
Barry M Cosmetics
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: All products suitable for vegetarians and the odd few for vegans.
My thoughts: I discovered them at The Clotheshow Live many years ago (2003/4 i think) and instantly saw their cruelty free icons. I use their products and think the pricing is great!
L’Occitane
Cruelty free? Yes
Good to know: Natural ingredients from the med!
My thoughts: I haven't tried them before, they are pricier than some other organic brands but perhaps you get what you pay for? Let me know if you have tried them as i'd be interested to know
Contains alcohol? No
