Britain will soon be getting its first range of halal cosmetics. Created by entrepreneur Samina Akhter, this new brand of make-up products will be free of alcohol and pork fat. The idea came to Akhter when she realised that existing products contained fatty acids and gelatin made from pig fat. As a devout Muslim, she found it worrying. Her Samina Pure Makeup range of products are made from plant extracts, minerals, essential oils and vitamins.
