Cosmetic

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I hope this message finds you well. I am seeking your guidance regarding the permissibility of using a certain cosmetic product, specifically the Fino Premium Touch hair mask by Shiseido. I want to ensure that it complies with Islamic dietary and purity laws before using it. The product’s full ingredient list is as follows: Water, Sorbitol, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Rapeseed Alcohol, Isopentyldiol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Hydroxypropyl Arginine Lauryl/Myristyl Ether HCl, Stearyl Dihydroxypropyldimonium Oligosaccharides, Glutamic Acid, Trehalose, Squalane, Steartrimonium Chloride, PEG-90M, PCA, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Polyquaternium-64, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Royal Jelly Extract, Isopropyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance, CI 15985. From my research and understanding, I gather the following: Most ingredients are derived from vegetable or synthetic sources. Some ingredients, such as squalane, cetyl alcohol, and steartrimonium chloride, can potentially have animal origins but are usually sourced from plants or synthetically produced in modern cosmetics. The product contains royal jelly extract, which is of bee origin but is generally considered permissible. Even if some ingredients were originally animal-derived, the extensive chemical transformations they undergo during production may change their nature completely. According to the principle of istihāla (transformation), substances originally impure or of animal origin may become pure and permissible if their properties and essence have significantly changed. Given these points, I kindly seek your scholarly opinion: Based on the ingredient list and the concept of istihāla, is it permissible for me to use this product as a Muslim woman? Are there any concerns or additional precautions I should consider regarding such cosmetic products? Thank you very much for your time and guidance. JazakAllahu khairan.
