What are the issues faced when purchasing<br />
fashion and beauty products<br />
When it comes to beauty,<br />
respondents were more<br />
likely to be concerned with<br />
the quality of their beauty<br />
products and the inclusion<br />
of chemicals, rather than if<br />
the product is halal.<br />
The majority of<br />
respondents are concerned<br />
with whether their products<br />
are natural and/or ethically<br />
sourced.<br />
This trend follows a similar<br />
pattern to the desire for<br />
more organic halal meats,<br />
however when it comes<br />
to beauty, it is far more<br />
prominent.<br />
<strong>Consumer</strong>s will look at<br />
the ingredients of their<br />
products to establish what<br />
goes in them. Will they<br />
choose an organic beauty<br />
product over one with a<br />
halal stamp? Some, most<br />
probably, yes.<br />
Most respondents say they<br />
struggle to find clothing that<br />
is modest and fashionable.<br />
Unlike the inclusion of halal<br />
meats in supermarkets, this<br />
seems to be an ongoing<br />
issue with high street stores<br />
and the <strong>Muslim</strong> consumer.<br />
And for those with tighter<br />
purse strings, the majority<br />
of modest clothing brands<br />
are just too expensive.<br />
<strong>Consumer</strong>s are calling for<br />
more choice in modest<br />
clothing that they can easily<br />
afford.<br />
