Is Edgewell Personal Care (EPC) stock Halal?
As of the September 2026 screening, Edgewell Personal Care Co. (EPC) does not meet the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 threshold for the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the stock is not currently classified as Shariah compliant. It is re-screened every month and can regain compliance if its financial structure changes.
Edgewell Personal Care is a prominent consumer goods company specializing in personal care products. Its primary role is to develop and market a wide array of products that enhance daily grooming and sanitation routines. The company’s portfolio includes well-known brands like Schick and Wilkinson Sword for razors, Edge and Skintimate for shaving creams, and Hawaiian Tropic and Banana Boat for sun care products. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is Edgewell Personal Care a Halal investment?
Is Edgewell Personal Care Shariah compliant?
Food, household goods and everyday retail are permissible activities, with one watch item: incidental revenue from alcohol, tobacco or conventional financial services must stay below the 5% ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21. For Edgewell Personal Care, that is usually the screen worth reading first.
Does Edgewell Personal Care pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Edgewell Personal Care currently fails the interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is Edgewell Personal Care's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Edgewell Personal Care's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Edgewell Personal Care meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
No. Both ratios currently breach the 30% caps: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each exceed the limit AAOIFI permits for a Halal investment. The ratios move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, and our Shariah Supervisory Board has EPC re-screened every month.
