Amara Cosmetics, founded in 2010 in Los Angeles, California, is the first complete Halal-certified cosmetics line in North America. The company aims to provide Muslim women with safe, clean products that adhere to Islamic teachings. Halal is not limited to food consumption but also applies to cosmetics used on the skin. Most cosmetic brands use materials that are haram by Islamic law, causing women to inadvertently absorb and consume these religiously condemned substances during eating and drinking.
Amara Cosmetics aims to create products that are pleasant to use and adhere to halal guidelines, allowing women to indulge without guilt. They have carefully curated a line of cosmetics that maintain high-quality pigment and texture without animal or alcohol-derived substances, ensuring women can pamper themselves without guilt.
Their products are free from alcohol, animal products, harmful chemicals, parabens, gluten, and are vegan-friendly, Halal certified.
