Let us know details (brand and source) so we can avoid it. It
wouldn't be at all surprising if someone packaged lamp oil to darken
henna. Kerosene and such things very likely do darken the stain, but
they're not very safe to use. I'd suggest trusting your nose and
putting it in a lamp but not on your skin; or return it. If you must
try it (NOT recommended), use only a small quantity on a small area,
and don't combine it with camphor or anything that will increase
absorption, please. Better to be safe, though.
Anyone know: does the FDA have jurisdiction over this sort of stuff?
