Organic Henna
Organic Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a natural herb prized for its colouring, cooling, and conditioning properties. Derived from the dried leaves of the henna plant, Organic Henna is traditionally used for hair colouring, scalp health, body art, and Ayurvedic wellness practices. Cultivated through certified organic farming, the henna crop is grown without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or harmful additives, ensuring a pure, safe, and potent product.
Fresh henna leaves are hand-picked, shade-dried, and finely ground into a green powder that retains maximum lawsone content, the natural dye molecule responsible for henna’s rich colour. Organic Henna is widely used in haircare formulations, herbal beauty products, natural dyes, mehndi applications, and scalp treatments.
