Henna Powder

No. Henna tattoos will only last between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on location and how well you care for them. Because henna is a dye that absorbs into your skin cells, the faster you lose skin cells, the faster your henna stain will disappear. We’ve got some tips to make it last.

• Before you get your henna paste applied, exfoliate. Get off as much dead skin from the area as you can.
• Wash the area to remove your natural oils, and then fully dry your skin.
• Avoid water for the first few hours. Don’t jump in the shower right after you get your tattoo.
• After you have your gorgeous henna, do not exfoliate! Your dead skin cells will naturally fall off over time, but try not to accelerate the process.
• Moisturize the area to keep your skin healthier for longer. We recommend using coconut oil to keep the area luscious.

All of our henna products are all-natural, free from harsh chemicals, and totally skin-safe.

Henna paste will naturally become less effective over time. The stain won’t be as dark, and ingredients may separate depending on what the henna is made out of.

Fortunately, there is no health hazard or danger related to expired henna. You can easily extend the life of your henna paste by storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Prior to shipping, it takes 1 - 2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) for orders to be processed, as our henna paste is freshly made to ensure the best quality. Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing the tracking number. Learn more on our Shipping page.

The leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant are dried and crushed into a fine powder. The henna powder is combined with a liquid to turn it into a paste that will adhere to your skin and with an acid to release the dye. At Mihenna, we use fresh distilled water, organic eucalyptus oil, organic tea tree oil and organic sugar. Our ingredients are all-natural with no hidden chemicals to keep your skin safe and healthy.
