Bath & Body Works Hand Soaps
Dear Lazeena,The gelatin used in our products is derived from general fish stock - they are not caught solely for the harvesting of gelatin. The gelatin is taken from fish that are being used for food purposes.
Sincerely,

I guess this goes for gelatin found in any other BBW's line of products because she didn't specify the Anti-Bacterial Hand Washes (which I inquired about)... rather, she said 'our products'. Allah knows best!
Salaam, after the long weekend and my sister’s Jalsa and all that awesome jazz. 😀 So today it’s bodywash. I have not looked at all the bodywashes out there and checked every single one, but I have looked at a lot in my quest to find one I could use. So here forth is a list of sorts:
Bath and Body Works: I used to se the citrus bodywash from this company, but when I called and asked about the ingredients (from the list to have handy), they said that there is no guarantee that there are no animal byproducts in their merchandise, as they use whatever is available. Not halaal if any of those ingredients found.
St. Ives: all halaal (this is what I use now)
Dial: not halaal as not guaranteed, according to the MCG site, and then a reliable source called and confirmed
Caress: the rest of my family used to use this, but it is not halaal as not guaranteed, it says so right on their website
Olay: same, not halaal as not guaranteed
Suave: according to their website, any product containing glycerin or stearic acid has animal byproducts. So if otherwise, it’s fine.
Dove: according to the website, if either stearic acid and/or glycerin in the ingredients, then not animal-free, so not halaal. Otherwise is fine.
Nivea: all halaal
Irish Spring (owned by Colgate): the ones that contain glycol distearate are not halaal, others are fine. You can check the ingredients before you buy here, just hover over “view ingredients”.
Old Spice: no guarantee, not halaal
Softsoap (owned by Colgate): you’ll have to check the ingredient list for any suspicious ingredients; I do know the pomegranate one has gelatin, and not halaal
Aveeno: a lot of Aveeno’s are halaal (all the stuff owned by me and my friends here from them proved to be so, when I called them) but I have not personally checked each body wash. Call and ask; if you want me to, request it below.
Gillette: no guarantee, not halaal
Tom’s of Maine: all halaal (I don’t know about the alcohol content, exercise caution and read the label carefully, please)
Axe: no guarantee, not halaal
White Rain: all halaal
Okay, that’s all I have for now; and as always, questions/comments/requests are welcome below. Jazakallah khair.
