: Someone told me that a local tattoo shop found a "green soap" that : took the henna off in 2 days, I'll see if I can find out the same of : it. "Lava Soap" used to be the only green soap around - okay, I'm old - and that works mostly because it has pumice. That's ground-up rock, essentially, and it works basically like a semi-lubricated sandpaper (abrasive). Not recommended if you've already injured your skin! If you're looking to the future, consider baking soda instead - it's just a little bit abrasive, and somewhat kinder to your skin (rinse thoroughly when you're done, and apply a moisturizer afterwards). This is general advice, not specific to henna. (Actually, I'm now wondering if baking soda will darken the henna as ammonia does - unlikely, but not impossible.) There may be a modern green soap that's quite different; I don't know. Take care
