Henna for biotattoo mehndi in cone 30 g - Sattva

Because this henna paste contains aromatic essential oils—specifically clove oil and eucalyptus leaf oil—it is classified as a cosmetic product with potential allergens. While henna itself is a natural plant pigment, the essential oils are added to help the paste adhere to the skin and encourage a deeper stain, but they can also trigger irritation in reactive skin types. It is wise to perform a patch test before applying the design to a larger area. Apply a small amount of the paste to a discreet spot on your inner arm and leave it for the recommended time. If you experience redness, itching, or burning, remove the product immediately and discontinue use. Avoid applying the paste to any areas of skin that are already irritated, damaged, or broken. Additionally, keep the product away from the eye area to prevent severe irritation. If you have a history of contact dermatitis or known allergies to essential oils, consult a specialist before use.

The colouring effect comes from lawsone, a natural pigment found in the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). When you apply the paste, the lawsone binds to the proteins in the outer layer of your skin. However, the initial colour you see immediately after removing the dried paste is often lighter than the final result. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, the stain oxidizes and deepens to its final rich shade. This is a normal part of the process and indicates that the pigment has successfully bonded with your skin. Because this is a surface stain and not a permanent tattoo, it will gradually fade as your skin naturally renews itself. The longevity of the design varies from person to person and depends on factors such as your skin type, the placement of the design, and how much the area is exposed to friction from clothing or water. To help maintain the colour for as long as possible, try to minimize excessive rubbing or prolonged soaking of the area during the first few days.
