Hi all,

Found my name on a search engine and so I decided to come and say
hi!;)

I decided to sell "black henna" mostly because a lot of folks were
asking me about making a tattoo look. If you visit my
website, "Profoundia" you will see that we carry a great number of
bindis and fewer henna supplies. I originally began to sell henna
supplies more because of requests from customers- as I am not a
professional mehndi artist.

I do my research before adding a new product or making claims about
it. The black henna rumors surprised me- but having dealt with skin
sensitivity myself, I really wanted to find out what it is that could
be causing these reactions that people were having. I found a number
of resources that mentioned PPDs as the source of skin irritations
and "burning".

This link gives useful information on PPD allergy.

As far as the dye in our henna, I spoke directly with the
manufacturer, Radico, to find out what ingredients were in the dye.
I made a label for the henna- since I figured that my customers would
like to know the scoop on what's in there!

The only one I didn't recognize was CI 50420. CI stands for "color
index". To find the chemical ingredientso f this cosmetic dye go to
this link. http://eudrams1.is.eudra.org/inci/inciaci.htm

So there you have my research on this topic. I really am a big fan of
black in general, so it seemed natural to play with black henna.

I myself suffer from diverse allergies, so I can totally understand
concerns related to putting dyes and chemicals on your skin. It was
my intent to offer people the choice of a black product , but I also
wanted everyone to know that I also back up that choice up with with
genuine concern for your safety.

Please feel free to email me directly if you have any questions or
just want to say hello!
