Phenoxyethanol - Halal - Phenoxyethanol is a preservative ingredient used widely in the cosmetics industry. It is a glycol ether, which is synthesized to be a "nature identical" compound mimicking the same properties, function and structure as the naturally derived analogue which occurs in roses and certain other plants. It is in no way similar to ethanol alcohol.

Benzyl Alcohol - Halal - Benzyl alcohol is produced naturally by many plants and is commonly found in fruits and teas.
