THINGS TO KNOW:

• Henna is Perishable! Store henna powder (or a cool dry location) and paste in the freezer until you’re ready to use. Store left-over henna paste in the freezer for 6-12 months. Defrost frozen paste at room temperature for thirty minutes before use. Defrost only the amount of henna you can use that day. Paste repeatedly frozen and defrosted will lose potency over time.
• Begin mixing your henna powder 24 hours prior to use
• Be sure to clean the skin before applying henna
• Let the henna paste soak on the skin for 4-8 hours
• Seal with medical tape for best results
• To remove paste, gently flake off, if sticky use coconut or vegetable oil, not water to remove residue
• Enjoy your custom one of a kind henna design! It will slowly fade away as your skin exfoliates
• Henna stains last 7-10 days, longest on hands and feet

In a bowl, combine the henna powder and sugar.

Add 1 cup lemon juice and 1 ounce essential oil and stir. The henna texture will change as the powder absorbs the liquids. Keep stirring until your paste is well combined 

Cover completely and let sit in a warm location, 75-80 degrees F, for 24 hours. Use a thermometer to monitor temperature and avoid direct sun. 

Your henna is ready 24 hours after you began mixing. It should be the consistency of yogurt, if it’s too thick add a teaspoon of lemon juice at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

We like our henna to ribbon smoothly of a spoon like a thick cake batter. Others prefer a stiffer mix, that stands in peaks. 

Fill your applicator using a convenient storage bag and create gorgeous, unique henna designs on your friends and family!

Store leftover paste in the freezer for optimal freshness, up to 6-12 months. Every time you defrost and refreeze it'll lose some potency and stain power, so we recommend dividing into single serving sizes for storage.
