News - How Is Senna Leaf Extract Used in Modern Dietary Supplements?

What Is This Product?

Henna powder—derived from the dried leaves of the *Lawsonia inermis* plant—is a natural herbal powder produced through harvesting, shade-drying, fine-grinding, and multiple rounds of sifting. High-quality, "art-grade" henna powder features a soft, yellow-green hue and carries a natural, earthy, hay-like scent. It contains no artificial fragrances or harsh chemical additives. Its primary coloring agent is lawsone (henna-quinone). When mixed into a paste and applied to the skin, it undergoes an oxidation process that leaves behind a natural, brownish-toned design; it is not a jet-black, one-time dye.
