Dear Lazeena,
We have received your e-mail and we are happy to respond to your question regarding Aquafresh® toothpaste.
Aquafresh® toothpaste products do not contain animal derivatives. The toothpaste does contain glycerin; however, the glycerin is derived from a vegetable source.
We're glad you took the time to contact us and hope this information is helpful.

You may find this software useful. It has a large list of additives. It indicates whether they are from animal origin or not.

This blog was sooooo useful since i bought like five aquafresh toothpastes and i hoped soooo bad that it was halal. Thank you soooo much.
ReplyDeleteAqua fresh is not necessarily halal, as it contains a substance called "carrageenan".
ReplyDeleteCartagenan is itself a halal substance(made from seaweed etc but it's created using alcohol a lot of the time.
