Reuters reports that Samina Akhter, a Muslim businesswoman has created the U.K's first range of Halal make-up.

Samina Pure Make-up, set up from her home in Birmingham, and is alcohol free and contains no animal products.

Samina said, "As a Muslim, I was questioning what I was putting on my skin, I wanted to know whether it was permissible in Islam. Many Muslim women like me have been frustrated by wanting to look good and follow their faith,"
Complying by Islamic law, receiving Hala accreditation in early June, Samina Pure Make-up's range of lipsticks and eyeliners consist of plant extracts, minerals, essential oils and vitamins.

Since then the customer base has reached over 500 and is sold online.
Samina added that there has been interest shown from as far afield as Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore being shipped there from Australia and independently certified by the Halal Certification Authority Australia.
