Frequently Asked Botanical Questions
Verified factual information regarding Henna / Mehndi nomenclature, composition, and safe external use.
QCan we eat henna leaves?
No. Henna (Lawsonia inermis) leaves and powder are exclusively formulated for external cosmetic and topical application on skin, hair, and nails. Henna must never be eaten, ingested, or brewed as tea. Internal consumption is unsafe and can lead to acute gastrointestinal distress, oxidative hemolysis (especially in individuals with G6PD enzyme deficiency), and systemic toxicity.
QWhat is the English name for Mehndi / Maruthani?
The English name for Mehndi (Hindi/Urdu) and Maruthani (Tamil) is Henna. In botanical taxonomy, the plant is scientifically classified as Lawsonia inermis, belonging to the Lythraceae flowering plant family.
QWhat is Mehndi / Henna made of?
Pure Mehndi is made from the dried, finely pulverized green leaves of the Lawsonia inermis shrub. Its coloring property comes from lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a naturally occurring botanical tannin that binds harmlessly to skin and hair keratin without artificial chemicals, PPD, or synthetic developers.
QWhat does BAQ (Body Art Quality) Henna mean?
Body Art Quality (BAQ) Henna designates the highest commercial purity grade of henna powder. Harvested from top-tier leaves in Sojat, Rajasthan, it is shade-dried and micro-cloth sifted up to three times (0.05mm). This guarantees an ultra-fine, fiber-free powder that will never clog precision applicator cones, yielding deep mahogany stains.
