Choosing The Best Halal Toothpaste

Islam is the third largest religion in America, with an estimated 3.4 million Muslims calling the US home. However, it can still be difficult for Muslim communities to be properly and respectfully represented in our society. 

What Does Halal Mean?

Certain foods and products are considered halal, or acceptable to use, while others are haram, or unacceptable. In addition to meals, this can impact other products people consume, such as hygiene products. In Islam, the use of pork and pork byproducts is forbidden.

What is Halal Toothpaste? 

Halal products are not the norm on the shelves of your local Target. For toothpaste in particular, it can be difficult to find halal products to use. Many mainstream toothpaste brands use glycerin as a sweetening and preserving agent. However, glycerin can be derived from pork byproducts, making it haram. 

Halal toothpaste uses glycerin that is not derived from pork. Instead, halal toothpastes use glycerin which is derived from either plants or the lard of other animals.
