Sold for hair dye — permitted under U.S. regulation
Hennaran USDA Organic Henna is marketed and sold as a botanical hair dye. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration permits the use of henna for coloring hair under 21 CFR §73.2190.
This means:
- Henna is recognized for hair coloring use
- The permitted use applies to pure henna leaf powder
- Adulterated or blended products fall outside that standard
Our product contains only finely milled Lawsonia inermis leaf powder and is labeled accordingly.
If you are seeking plant-based color for hair that aligns with established U.S. regulatory guidance, pure henna is an approved option for that purpose.
Body Art Quality — defined by purity and sift
“BAQ” or Body Art Quality traditionally refers to:
- Very fine sift
- Smooth paste consistency
- Reliable dye release
- Clean ingredient profile
While Hennaran henna is sold for hair dye use, its fine sift and purity meet the expectations often associated with body art quality henna.
Key attributes:
- Silky texture
- Minimal grit
- Strong natural dye content
- Single-origin consistency
Because our supply chain is homogeneous and single-source, batch-to-batch variation is minimized.
100% pure — no metallic salts, no synthetic dyes
Some products marketed as henna contain:
- Metallic salts
- Synthetic color boosters
- PPD or related chemicals
- Artificial pigments
Hennaran contains only one ingredient:
- Lawsonia inermis leaf powder
There are no fillers, no fragrance, and no added dyes.
This matters both for predictable hair color results and for avoiding the risks associated with adulterated “black henna” products.
We encourage customers to read our article on Black Henna Trouble, and to review the FDA’s fact sheet on temporary tattoos and “black henna,” which explains the risks associated with PPD-containing products.
USDA Organic and batch-traceable
Purity claims are only meaningful when documented.
Hennaran henna is:
- USDA Organic certified (field and facility)
- Single-origin from Rajasthan
- Third-party tested for heavy metals
- Screened for pesticide residues
- Evaluated for synthetic dye adulteration
- Microbiologically assessed
Each batch is traceable. Lab samples meaningfully represent the powder inside the retail pouch.
This level of documentation supports both hair dye use and informed consumer choice.
About body art use
Like any 100% pure henna powder, Hennaran USDA Organic Henna may be used for body art applications. However:
- Our product is sold for hair dye use.
- Skin use involves different regulatory considerations.
- Consumers should carefully review safety information.
We recommend reading both our Black Henna Trouble article and the FDA’s official guidance on temporary tattoos and “black henna” before considering skin application.
Products that produce black stains are not pure henna.
