Jagua-Henna Cones
Jagua-Henna Cones
Jagua-henna cones are 100% natural and made fresh to order. Henna is derived from leaves of the henna plant, also known as Lawsonia inermis. It produces a dark maroon to a brownish stain on the skin. Jagua is derived from the Jagua fruit of the Genipa americana tree. It produces a dark blue stain on the skin. By mixing both these ingredients, Jagua-henna produces a dark brown/black stain which naturally fades over the course of two weeks. Jagua-henna cones are 20 grams each and come with an open tip of 0.38mm and a pin inserted. Please freeze your Jagua-henna cones as soon as you receive your order.
INGREDIENTS
Organic Jagua juice, organic henna powder, organic cane sugar, essential oils
STORAGE
Natural and organic Jagua-henna paste has no preservatives which makes it a perishable product. It has a shelf life of about two weeks at room temperature. To make sure your Jagua-henna paste lasts longer, store your Jagua-henna cones in the freezer. When frozen, Jagua-henna can last 6+ months and still produce a dark stain. When you’re ready to use it again, just let it thaw for about 10-15 minutes. Try not to freeze and thaw more than 3-4 times.
AFTERCARE AND STAIN
Practicing proper aftercare is arguably the most important step in achieving a deep, dark stain. After applying the Jagua-henna, keep it on the skin for at least 6 hours. The less time you keep it on, the more blue/brown your stain will be, the more you keep it on, the more dark brown/black it will get. The rule of thumb is, the longer you keep it on, the darker it gets. You can even leave it on overnight and remove it in the morning! When removing your Jagua-henna paste, DO NOT use water. Instead, scrape it off using your nails, a butter knife, or even a plastic card. For any stubborn areas, soften the paste with coconut oil and remove. Your stain should initially be a gray-ish, dirty orange color. Don’t fret! It will oxidize and darken over the next 48 hours. Try to avoid water for the next 12-24 hours. Washing your hands a couple of times is fine, but if you are showering, cover your stain with some gloves or a plastic bag. For the next 24-48 hours you can apply a natural oil, such as coconut oil or mustard seed oil, on your stain to protect it further. Remember, no two stains are equal and different parts of your arm or body will stain differently. Enjoy!
