Latest revision as of 12:19, 21 August 2024

This article is good. It can still be slightly improved, either by adding content, restructuring the page, or updating its content.

Background

  1. With so many new cosmetics on the market today, the question of using these products on Shabbat becomes very relevant. Some background information may shed some light on what the possible problems may be in regards to Hilchot Shabbat. One Melacha to be aware of, is the act of dyeing (Tzoveya), which was done to color the curtains of the Mishkan[1], the second is the act of smoothing (Memachaik) which was done to finish the leather of the coverings of the Mishkan.
  2. While the biblical prohibition of dyeing is only something that will be colored permanently, there is still a Rabbinic prohibition on creating a temporary coloring effect. Therefore, cosmetics such as: rouges, lipsticks, eye shadow, and others which add color to the skin, albeit for a short amount of time, are still forbidden to use on Shabbat.[2]

Bar, Liquid, and Foam Soap

  1. Some poskim hold that it is permitted to use a bar of soap on Shabbat because one doesn't intend of smoothing out the bar of soap or creating any soap suds.[3] On the opposite extreme, some poskim hold that it is forbidden to use either bar or liquid soap on Shabbat.[4] However, according to the majority of poskim, one may not use a bar of soap but one may use liquid soap on Shabbat.[5]
  2. Some poskim permit the use of foam handsoap on Shabbat.[6]
  3. If one used a scented soap to clean one’s hands, it is permitted to dry one’s hands on a towel.[7]
  4. Using Purell is like using liquid hand soap, and thus many poskim permit using it on Shabbat.[8]

Cutting Nails or Hair

  1. It is forbidden to cut nails or hair on shabbat or sever them in any way.[9]
  2. On the night of her tevila in the mikveh, a woman may have her nails cut by a non-Jew.[10]

Lipstick

  1. It is forbidden for a woman to apply lipstick on shabbat.[11]

Powder

  1. Some Poskim permit women applying non-sticky powder to their faces on Shabbat.[12] However, other poskim forbid this act.[13] Nevertheless, all agree that applying sticky powder is forbidden.[14]
  2. It is forbidden to use makeup on Shabbat if it is lasting.[15]
  3. Putting on nail polish, even if it is clear, is forbidden.[16]
  4. Rav Moshe Feinstein permitted putting on ordinary talcum powder and theoretically extended it to all colored powdered makeups. In practice, regarding specific makeups, he warned that the powdered makeups may not be made with a water or oil base and could not last for a long time.[17] Many of his students forbid all powdered makeups on the market today because in practice they remain on the skin for a long time.[18]

Nail Varnish

  1. It is forbidden to apply or remove nail varnish on shabbat.[19]

Combing Hair

  1. Regarding combing one's hair on Shabbat, see the Getting Dressed on Shabbat page.

Braiding Hair

  1. It is forbidden to braid hair on shabbat.[20]

Perfume

  1. It is permitted to apply perfume onto the human body but it is forbidden to apply perfume onto clothing on shabbat.[21]

Nail Polish

  1. It is forbidden to use nail polish on Shabbat, whether it is a colored nail polish or clear polish, as the shine adds a pleasant finish to the nail, and is enhancing the natural color of the nail, thus violating Tzovaya.[22]
    1. It is for this same reason that one would be prohibited from using whitening strips for teeth.
    2. It is also for this reason that one is prohibited from using fade creams that are of the same color as one's natural skin, even if it is being used just to cover up blemishes.[23]

Sun-Tanning

  1. Some Poskim go as far as to prohibit intentional suntanning, as this leaves a color on the skin, and thus may violate tzovaya.[24]
  2. It should be noted that not all Poskim concur with this ruling, and everyone holds that it is permitted to merely sit outside if there is no intention of tanning, even if one will be pleased with the results.[25]

Makeup Removal

  1. While putting on makeup in most cases is forbidden, removing it is permitted. However, it is preferable to be use a disposable tissue, so as to avoid questions of coloring the cloth or towel being used.[26] One should also avoid using nail polish remover.[27]

Smoothing Creams

  1. Besides for the concern of tzoveah (coloring), when dealing with lotions there is also a concern of memachek (smoothing). Therefore, the use of lipstick or even non-colored chapstick are prohibited on shabbat.[28]
  2. Skin blemish concealers, hand creams (Nivea, Eucerin), Vaseline, rouge creams, moisturizers, lotions and the like are all prohibited under memachek as well.[29]

Lotions

  1. As long as the lotion has a thin and pourable consistency, like that of oil,[30] it would be permitted to use on shabbat [providing that it is not medicinal, as then one would have to ask a question regarding the refuah aspect].
    1. Therefore, one may apply most forms of sunblock lotion on an infant (or himself for that matter), as they are of very loose consistency.[31]

  3. ↑ According to Chacham Ovadia Yosef (Sh"t Yechave Daat 2:50), it is permitted to use a bar of soap or liquid soap on shabbat because one has no intention of changing anything. One only intends to clean what he is washing.
  4. ↑ According to Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (Sh"t Igrot Moshe OC 1:113) it is forbidden to use a bar of soap and it is forbidden to use liquid soap on shabbat, due to a concern of memareach.
  5. ↑ According to Chacham Ben-Zion Abba-Shaul (Sh"t Or Litzion 2:35:5), one may not use a bar of soap but one may use liquid soap on shabbat. Rabbi Eli Mansour, Aruch Hashulchan 326:11, and Ketzot Hashulchan 146:32 agree. Kitzur Hilchot Shabbat pg. 74 says this is the common practice. See also Shemirat Shabbat Kihilchita 14:16. Rav Schachter (Shabbat Shiur 11) explained that it is questionable to forbid using a liquid soap since the resultant sods created are very temporary.
  6. ↑ Rav Schachter (Shabbat Shiur 11) holds that using foamy soap is permitted, and that there is no problem of memareach or of nolad, since the result is very temporary, as it is almost immediately washed down the drain. Rav Willig (Asicha Shabbos 2 p. 9) agrees.
  7. ↑ Ginat Veradim OC 3:16 writes that it is permitted to use rose water to clean your hands and to dry them on a towel since there’s no prohibition of molid re'ach (scenting garments) when it is unintentional. Molid is only a derabbanan and if one doesn’t intend for it, it isn’t an issue of a pesik reisha. This is also the opinion of the Maharshal (Yam Shel Shlomo Beitzah 2:34). Rav Avraham Antebi writes that the Syrian minhag was to use rose water on Shabbat for washing hands.
