How does this henna differ from conventional chemical hair dyes in terms of colour mechanism and final result?

Unlike oxidative dyes that penetrate the hair shaft, this plant-based powder uses lawsone to coat the outer keratin, creating a translucent, natural-looking layer that enhances shine and depth based on your starting hair colour.

What role do the Dead Sea minerals play in this hair colouring process, and how do they affect hair texture?

The added mineral salts, including magnesium, calcium, and potassium, help condition the hair during the colouring process, reducing roughness and leaving the hair looking more polished, especially if it is dull or porous.

Can I mix this henna with other plant powders like basma to achieve darker shades, and what should I know about patch testing?

Yes, henna is traditionally combined with basma (indigo) to achieve deeper brown to near-black tones. Because results vary based on hair porosity and starting colour, a patch test is essential to avoid unexpected outcomes, especially on chemically treated hair.

Fitokosmetik Iranian Henna with Dead Sea Minerals is a plant-based hair colourant derived from the dried and finely powdered leaves of Lawsonia inermis (henna plant), enriched with Dead Sea minerals, in a generous 125 g pack. Henna (Lawsonia inermis) contains lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) as its principal colorant molecule, which reacts with the keratin protein of the hair shaft via a non-oxidative covalent bonding process, depositing a warm, natural, permanent colour that does not penetrate the hair cortex in the same way as conventional synthetic dye systems.

The natural colour palette achievable with Lawsonia inermis henna spans a range from golden-yellow (on light hair with a short processing time) through warm copper-orange and auburn to dark chestnut-brown tones, depending on the natural base colour of the hair, processing time, and application temperature. When used in combination with basma (fermented indigo leaf powder, Indigofera tinctoria), the full range from ash-brown through cool grey-green to natural black shades becomes achievable. The enrichment with Dead Sea mineral salts — rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, and trace elements — contributes additional conditioning and mineral nourishment to the hair during the colour treatment. The 125 g pack is sufficient for medium-to-long hair.

NET QUANTITY: 125 g

INGREDIENTS: Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Leaf Powder, Dead Sea Mineral Salts. See packaging for complete composition.

USE: Mix the required amount of henna powder with warm water (or other liquid carriers) to form a paste of yoghurt consistency. Apply evenly to clean, dry hair from roots to tips. Cover with a plastic cap and leave for 1–4 hours depending on the desired colour intensity. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. No shampoo required immediately after rinsing.

WARNINGS: For external use (hair colourant) only. Perform a skin sensitivity test 24–48 hours before first use. Avoid contact with eyes. Henna will stain skin, clothing, and fabrics — protect surfaces. Pure Lawsonia inermis henna is generally considered low-allergy risk, but individual sensitivity can occur.

STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place in the sealed pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

BEST BEFORE: See packaging.

What it is

Fitocosmetic Iranian Henna with Dead Sea Minerals is a plant-based hair colour powder for people who want a warmer, more natural-looking result than many conventional dyes give. It is based on finely milled Lawsonia inermis leaves, the classic henna plant used for hair colouring in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia for centuries. Many choose this type of herbal hair colour when they want visible tone, shine and a denser feel to the hair shaft in one step.

How the colour works

The key colouring substance in henna is lawsone. In simple terms, this pigment attaches to the keratin on the outer part of the hair, creating a translucent colour layer rather than working like an oxidative dye. Because of that, the final shade depends on your starting hair colour, how long the paste stays on, and how warm the mixture is during application. On lighter hair it can look golden, coppery or auburn; on darker hair it usually gives warm chestnut reflections and richer depth. This is also why henna often makes hair look glossier: the colour coating smooths the surface and helps light reflect more evenly.

Dead Sea minerals

The addition of Dead Sea minerals makes this version more interesting than plain henna powder alone. Mineral salts such as magnesium, calcium and potassium are valued in hair masks and scalp products because they can help the hair feel less rough after rinsing and leave it looking more polished. In practice, this means the colouring session can also act like a conditioning ritual, especially for hair that looks dull, porous or tired after frequent styling.

When people choose it

This herbal hair dye can suit those who want to:

refresh faded lengths;
add warm dimension to natural hair;
move toward a more botanical colouring approach;
mix plant powders to personalise the result — for example, henna is traditionally combined with basma (indigo) when deeper brown to near-black tones are the goal.

Good to know

As with any botanical colourant, results are individual and build differently from synthetic dyes, so it is wise to strand-test first. If you have very light, bleached, damaged or chemically processed hair, or a sensitive scalp, patch-test in advance and proceed carefully, since plant pigments and mineral salts can give a stronger or less predictable result on porous hair.

Customer Questions

Conventional hair dyes typically work by opening the hair cuticle and using chemical reactions to deposit colour inside the hair shaft. In contrast, this Iranian Henna with Dead Sea Minerals is a plant-based colourant derived from finely milled Lawsonia inermis leaves. The active colouring substance, lawsone, attaches to the keratin on the outer part of the hair rather than penetrating it deeply. This creates a translucent colour layer that sits on the surface, which is why the final shade is heavily influenced by your natural starting hair colour, the duration the paste remains on, and the temperature of the mixture during application.On lighter hair, this mechanism often yields golden, coppery, or auburn tones, while on darker hair, it imparts warm chestnut reflections and richer depth. Because the pigment coats the hair shaft, it can smooth the surface and help light reflect more evenly, often resulting in a glossier appearance. This approach is frequently chosen by those seeking a warmer, more natural-looking result than many conventional synthetic dyes provide, or for those looking to refresh faded lengths and add warm dimension to natural hair without harsh chemicals.

While pure henna powder provides colour, this specific formulation includes Dead Sea minerals to enhance the conditioning aspect of the application. These mineral salts, such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, are valued in hair care for their ability to improve the feel and appearance of the hair. During the colouring session, these minerals can help the hair feel less rough after rinsing and leave it looking more polished.This makes the colouring process function similarly to a conditioning ritual, which is particularly beneficial for hair that appears dull, porous, or tired due to frequent styling or environmental exposure. The combination of the henna coating and the mineral salts can provide a denser feel to the hair shaft in one step. However, it is important to note that results are individual; if you have very light, bleached, damaged, or chemically processed hair, the interaction between plant pigments, mineral salts, and porous hair can sometimes yield a stronger or less predictable result, making a strand test advisable.

This herbal hair dye is versatile and can be personalised by mixing plant powders. For example, if your goal is to achieve deeper brown or near-black tones, henna is traditionally combined with basma (indigo). This combination allows for a wider range of natural shades beyond the warm copper and auburn tones that henna alone typically produces. However, because botanical colourants build differently from synthetic dyes, the final result depends on your unique hair characteristics.It is wise to perform a strand-test first to see how your specific hair reacts to the lawsone and mineral salts. This is particularly important if you have very light, bleached, damaged, or chemically processed hair, as these conditions can lead to stronger or less predictable colour absorption. Additionally, if you have a sensitive scalp, a patch test in advance is recommended to ensure compatibility with the plant pigments and mineral salts. Consult a specialist before use if you have chronic skin conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
