Traditional henna powder is the powdered leaf of Lawsonia Inermis, a
plant. Just plain, dried ground up henna leaves. Plain
traditional henna powder isn't supposed to have ANYTHNG ELSE in it.
Powdered henna leaf is very, very safe. If you're writing a paper on
this or something, email me and I can send you a gif of the molecular
form of the Lawsone molecule, the dyestuff that is in henna leaves.

(If you have "black" henna powder, it may have added PPD,
para-phenylenediamine, in it, and if so, you're in big trouble. PPD
can cause angioneurotic edema, blistering, scarring, renal failure and
circulatory collapse.)
