[BEAUTY REVIEW] LOOK TO CERAMIDE & ROSE WATER FOR RAMADHAN Korean Brand Mamonde Offers Certified Halal And Wudhu-Friendly Products

The holy month of Ramadan is here, marking a month of fasting, prayers and reflection for our Muslim friends. Before performing prayers, Muslims must go through the ritual of ablution or wudhu (the process of washing before prayers). For women, it could be challenging finding halal- certified beauty products to suit their skin. 

Korean beauty brand Mamonde has taken into account its different customers’ needs and has gone the extra mile to come up with products that use ingredients without any alcohol or animal substances. 

This Ramadhan, Mamonde recommends its Ceramide and Rose Water ranges that are compliant with the faith. The products from these ranges are certified halal and wudhu-friendly, which means they can be freely used without having to be removed before prayers. They also contain moisturising properties that are ideal for the skin especially during the fasting month when water consumption is restricted.
