			The first is, what is the ruling
		

			of using makeup
		

			from
		

			derivatives of raw materials
		

			of animal origin?
		

			The issue has some detail, and one needs
		

			to see what kind of derivatives
		

			those are.
		

			So we have a number of answers on
		

			Seeker's guidance
		

			regarding that. The basis is that it is
		

			haram
		

			to use
		

			ingredients from unslaughtered animals.
		

			That it's haram to use
		

			ingredients from unslaughtered animals,
		

			unless there's been
		

			chemical transformation.
		

			But chemical transformation
		

			is an exception, not the general rule.

			check
		

			to ensure that
		

			the the items one is using
		

			are,
		

			in fact, permissible
		

			to use.

			soaps
		

			and the like, where
		

			the have looked at it, and
		

			chemical transformation, essential
		

			transformation
		

			is considered to have actually
		

			taken place. So those are permitted
		

			to use. But in other,
		

			items,
		

			it wouldn't be the case. Now some of
		

			the things practically to to to do is
		

			that sometimes we can find
		

			ingredients that are suitable for vegetarians.

			will be permissible to use because it wouldn't
		

			have animal ingredients.
		

			Or
		

			there in some countries, you have certified halal
		

			ingredients in things like this. If you're in
		

			such a country,
		

			then avail yourself of those
		

			matters.
		

			There's also using more natural ingredients that don't
		

			have so many,
		

			additives
		

			as well.
