About Henna & Natural Hair Dye

We are committed to purity, using 100% natural ingredients without any synthetic chemicals, metallic salts, or preservatives. Our powders are triple-sifted for the finest quality and sourced sustainably.

Our products contain no ammonia, no peroxide, no PPD, no metallic salts, and no parabens — just plant powders and botanical extracts.

No, natural henna and indigo deposit color but cannot lighten hair. Henna imparts red to copper tones, while indigo deepens to brown or black shades when combined with henna.

Many customers with sensitive skin use our products successfully, but everyone’s skin reacts differently — we strongly recommend a patch test 48 hours before every use.

Our henna comes from trusted farms in India where the plants are hand-picked, shade-dried, and finely ground under strict quality standards to ensure potency and purity.

How to Use & Get the Best Results

For best gray coverage, use a two-step process: first apply henna to deposit a base color, then apply indigo for darker shades. We provide detailed instructions with every order!

On lighter hair, henna produces orange to deep auburn tones. Combined with indigo, you can achieve shades from medium brown to rich black. Results vary by original hair color and application technique.

Henna and indigo colors usually last 4–6 weeks depending on hair washing frequency and individual hair porosity. Root touch-ups may be needed monthly.

For darker colors and stubborn grays, we recommend a two-step process (henna first, then indigo). Mixing them together gives brown tones, but separate applications yield richer results.

Yes! Our henna and indigo powders are safe for beard and mustache use. Ensure thorough application and allow enough time for color development.

No, our henna is formulated specifically for hair and beard use. We do not offer body art grade henna at this time.

Ingredients, Storage & Safety

We’re not able to make a safety claim for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding — please consult your healthcare provider before use.

Store in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and moisture. For best results, use powders within 12 months of purchase.

Yes! Henna Cosmetics products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and never tested on animals.

Our powders are cosmetic-grade. While they are pure plant powders, we recommend using them externally unless a product specifically states "food-grade." Always check each product's description.

Our supplier performs internal quality testing in India, including checks for heavy metals and microbiological safety, as part of their manufacturing process. This testing is done in their own lab rather than an independent ISO-certified lab, so we share it transparently rather than present it as third-party-verified.
