Natural henna is brown or olive in colour and is generally safe to use, but we always recommend doing a patch test first, to see how your skin responds to it. Be careful: black henna (also known as PPD) is a chemical version of henna; it is banned for use on the skin in some countries, because it can burn and damage the skin.

Natural henna tattoos typically last 1–3 weeks depending on body placement (hands and feet last longest), skin type, and aftercare. Avoiding soaking in water and applying coconut or olive oil can extend the life of the design.

Henna is a plant-based dye derived from the pigment in henna tree leaves. To harness the pigment, the leaves are dried, ground into a fine powder, and blended with oil or water to create a paste. It’s this paste that’s then piped onto the skin to create a henna tattoo.
