A lipstick is considered not halal if its ingredient list includes certain prohibited substances as stated in the reference.
Haram Lipstick Ingredients
Here's a breakdown of what makes a lipstick haram (not halal):
- Animal-Derived Ingredients:
- Lard or Tallow: These are pig fats and are strictly forbidden in halal products.
- Other Pig Fat: Any kind of fat derived from pigs is not halal.
- Alcohol: The presence of alcohol renders a lipstick non-halal.
- Carmine: This is a red colorant derived from insects, giving lipsticks a signature blood-red color, which makes it Haram.
- Other Non-Halal Ingredients: The reference did not give any other specific examples, but general Halal guidelines include the avoidance of products from animals slaughtered unislamically.
