  Why don't they just advertise that they are alcohol and animal free and all natural etc etc, which, if I understand it, will then require no halal certification etc, nor any need to mention it.

  They can target a bigger market without all that hoo ha.

    Sorry, don't know much about halal products. Maybe someone else can clarify? Might be hard to trust it being truly halal if they don't explicitly say so. Kind of like claims of "Made in Australia" (from local and imported ingredients) or "Designed in Switzerland" (mass produced in Chinese factory), etc.

    i understand mick123's concern since some part of society is a bit hypocrite. say they're atheist but they 'concern' a lot about halal and some about kosher thing. weird way of thinking imo. where do they think the meat come from if no human slaughter the animals?
    btw, does bible forbids eating halal/kosher foods or use something like this halal hussana cosmetics? afaik it's no mentioning.

      Some places use robots to slaughter the animals. Like this.

        and who controls the robot? human or another robot? it's the same method, slaughter, killing the animal. that's my point.

        i think halal, kosher, or no-religious-logo meats all must past this step! that's why i was stating some atheists don't make sense if they grumbling about this on the media. if they don't 'believe' in anything religious why do they bother so much about this thing? seems like they make a new 'believe';)
        anywho, it's about out of topic.

        still gave + to this deal because not everyday we see a bargain like this one. might help some of ozbargainers who need it due to their religious believe, which by the way nothing against any laws in australia (or in bible afaik).

      Correct. Neither the Bible nor the Quran forbid the wearing of pigskin leather, for instance, but certain hadith state that even touching the skin of a dog or a pig results in impurity.

    For the same reason that products carry the "K" symbol for kosher, or the endorsement of the Vegan Society. Its mainly a trust issue.

    A lot of times, products dont disclose the fact that they contain gelatin, or glycerol, or use fining agents such as isinglass.

    For a while, foods containing MSG were controversial as to whether they were halal or not. MSG is made from soybeans, but the enzyme used to produce it can be derived from pork.

    Additionally, while "beef gelatine" is potentially halal, you could not be sure that the animal was slaughtered according to halal processes. If not then it would not be halal.

    Obviously, working out all of this can be taxing for the average punter, so its simpler just to have the halal symbol.

  Maybe it's tested on animals that are put down halally?

  • 

    lostn on 18/03/2013 - 14:36

    Why would you test on dead animals? Or do you mean they were tested on animals just before they were about to be turned into food?

  If you read the "About Us" page (http://www.hussana.com.au/aboutus.html)you will see the reason of the Halal labeling is because a lot of make up products do contain alcohol, or other haram items.
  Further, if you go to the "Products" page (http://www.hussana.com.au/page17.html) you will notice that they make many items, including moisturizers, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, which is where you will find many of the haram items, this company has cut those out, and filled a rather large gap in the market.

  As previously mentioned by paizuri, it really is mainly a trust issue, many items do not fully list ingredients, or the origin of certain things.

  halal is a convenient shorthand for muslims to know that their products are kosher.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal sez:-
  Ḏabīḥah (ذَبِيْحَة) is the prescribed method of slaughtering all meat sources excluding fish and other sea-life per Islamic law. This method of slaughtering animals consists of using a well sharpened knife to make a swift, deep incision that cuts the front of the throat, the carotid artery, wind pipe and jugular veins. The head of an animal that is slaughtered using halal methods is aligned with the Qiblah. In addition to the direction, permitted animals should be slaughtered upon utterance of the Islamic prayer "in the name of God".
  Animal welfare concerns

  Animal rights groups have objected to Halal, saying that it is a form of animal torture.[21] The animal is positioned in order to have its blood completely drained (if size permits) and left to exsanguinate.

  The ritual method of slaughter as practiced in Islam and Judaism has been described as inhumane by some animal welfare organizations in the U.K. and the U.S. who have stated that it "causes severe suffering to animals.".[22][23]

  Hussana was sold like avon - through consultants.

  By the way, as far as I know L'Occitane and Lush products are also halal, vegan, alcohol free.

  I like these natural products free from harmful chemicals, but I dont like that they cost more.
