The beauty industry in the UAE is undergoing a major transformation in 2025. While luxury makeup and skincare have always been popular, the spotlight is now shifting towards organic and halal-certified beauty products. With consumers becoming more conscious of what they apply to their skin and how products are sourced, the demand for ethical, safe, and sustainable beauty solutions has skyrocketed.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are at the heart of this change, with international brands, local startups, and niche labels competing to capture the growing market for natural, cruelty-free, and halal-certified cosmetics. This is not just a passing trend—it’s a lifestyle shift redefining beauty standards across the UAE.
Shoppers today are more informed about harmful chemicals, parabens, and artificial ingredients. They are seeking products that are safer, natural, and eco-friendly.
With a majority Muslim population, halal certification ensures that products meet faith-based guidelines—free from alcohol, pork derivatives, or animal cruelty.
Consumers are increasingly eco-conscious, preferring products with biodegradable packaging, ethical sourcing, and cruelty-free testing.
The UAE is actively promoting halal-certified industries, including beauty, making Dubai a global hub for ethical cosmetics.
Consumers are shifting towards plant-based cleansers, serums, and moisturizers made with organic oils, aloe vera, and botanicals.
Instead of heavy cosmetics, organic tinted moisturizers, mineral powders, and lip balms are trending for natural looks.
Sulphate-free shampoos, argan oil-based treatments, and herbal scalp solutions are in high demand.
Brands are launching organic DIY kits with natural clays, essential oils, and scrubs for at-home pampering.
From halal lipsticks to nail polishes, beauty lovers are embracing ethical options that comply with faith-based rules.
Water-permeable nail polishes and breathable foundations that allow skin to stay fresh are gaining popularity.
Many halal-certified products are also vegan and cruelty-free, making them more appealing to a wider audience.
Alcohol-free perfumes and traditional attars are trending, combining cultural heritage with modern fragrance design.
Organic & Natural: Neal’s Yard Remedies, The Organic Pharmacy, Herbivore Botanicals
Halal Certified: Inika Organic, Amara Halal Cosmetics, PHB Ethical Beauty
Local UAE Brands: Huda Beauty (introducing more halal-friendly products), Izil Beauty, Shiffa Dubai
Luxury Malls: The Dubai Mall, Yas Mall, Mall of the Emirates
Specialty Stores: Sephora Middle East, Boots UAE, Namshi Beauty
Online Platforms: Noon, Amazon.ae, Boutiqaat, and niche organic beauty websites
Chemical-Heavy Formulas: Consumers are avoiding products with parabens, sulphates, and artificial fragrances.
Non-Ethical Brands: Labels without transparency on sourcing are losing trust.
Excessive Packaging: Shoppers prefer eco-friendly, minimal packaging solutions.
The UAE is not just following global beauty trends—it’s setting them. By embracing organic and halal-certified beauty, consumers are choosing products that reflect both their values and wellness goals. This shift is not about luxury vs affordability; it’s about trust, authenticity, and sustainability.
In 2025, beauty is no longer just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, living ethically, and making conscious choices. And in this journey, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are leading the way, making the UAE a hub for the next era of beauty.
