[message]Current Available Henna
We only offer body art quality henna (BAQ) with absolutely no additives. All of our henna powders are safe for both skin and hair use.
Below are some of the henna varieties we offer, though not everything is necessarily available at any given time. ORa henna and Jamila henna are our standard hennas and are normally always available. If they are occasionally out of stock, they are normally back in stock within 30 days.
Henna is a crop, and as such, availability and quality can differ based on the specific crop year. We are constantly sampling and testing different types of henna, and offer the best available options.

Safe Ready Made Henna Paste
I recommend preparing your own mehndi paste using our fresh henna powder. The most optimal color results and the ability to tailor the texture to personal preferences come from mixing your own paste.
Recognizing, however, that not everyone finds it practical to mix their own henna, we've worked hard to provide you with a high-quality, ready-made henna paste.
Our ready-made henna paste is crafted exclusively for us, undergoes flash freezing, and is then express-shipped to us. Upon arrival, it undergoes a thorough quality check and is stored in our in-house freezers. We are committed to delivering a ready-to-use henna paste that is exceptionally fresh, contains safe ingredients, and is entirely free from harmful chemicals.
