Ihram-Friendly Product Recommendations

During the sacred state of Ihram, it's essential to use fragrance and alcohol-free products. Here are some personal recommendations to keep you feeling fresh and comfortable:

• Deodorant: The CRYSTAL Mineral Deodorant Stick keeps you odor-free without any added fragrance.
• Sunscreen: Shield your skin with La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Sunscreen Lotion Spray, which is alcohol-free and offers broad-spectrum protection.
• Shoes: While there are no specific regulations for women's footwear, I personally love the comfort and style of Sketchers GLIDE-STEP Slip-On Walking Shoes.

Remember that many hotels in Makkah and Madina provide fragrance-free soaps and shampoos, so you can opt to use what's provided. But if you have personal preferences, feel free to bring your own.
