Is Skin Elixir Halal?

The Ingredient Breakdown

As a food scientist, I look at ingredients through a lens of chemical composition and sourcing. Skin Elixir lists a relatively clean profile, but one ingredient requires a closer look for the halal consumer.

The base ingredients—gum arabic, cane sugar, and dicalcium phosphate—are generally considered safe and halal. Gum arabic is a plant-based resin, and dicalcium phosphate is a mineral salt used for texture.

The primary flag is natural flavor. This is a regulatory catch-all term. While it usually implies plant-derived extracts, manufacturers can legally use animal-derived products (such as castoreum from beavers) to create flavor profiles. Without specific disclosure from the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee the source is 100% plant-based.

Fortunately, the product uses stevia leaf extract and beet juice concentrate for sweetness and color, avoiding artificial additives. However, if you follow a strict halal diet, the ambiguity of the flavoring agent is the only barrier to a full 'Yes'.

Nutritional Value

From a nutritional standpoint, Skin Elixir is positioned as a low-calorie supplement. The use of stevia and cane sugar creates a sweetness profile without relying heavily on high-fructose corn syrup or excessive sugar alcohols.

The product contains rice hulls for bulk, which adds a negligible amount of fiber. It is not a significant source of protein or fats. If you are monitoring your sugar intake, the combination of cane sugar and beet juice concentrate does contribute a small amount of carbohydrates, but it fits well within the limits of a standard diet or weight management plan.
