whats in henna paste?
Different henna artists have different ingredients they use for their paste. Hennawitch’s henna paste is powdered henna leaf, lemon juice, sugar or Splenda. Sometimes an essential oil such as tea tree, lavendar, or cajeput is added. Hennawitch will be happy to adjust a specific paste for you with a few days’ advance notice. Henna paste should smell like fresh hay or spinach, and sometimes have a slightly medicinal smell from the essential oils. It should NEVER smell like gasoline, turpentine, or nothing at all.
