Well I defently recommend their product. Me personally I made my first and not last order. I have bought the starter pack and one of my faith sister made my hands so elegant and you feel it that it has prime quality not toxic for the skin as some henna you found in ethnic shops. May Allah bless all the workers behind the jagua henna and all the marketing team. Amen🤲🏽

A tip follow the instructions and there are some reel in their Instagram page that can help you, don't get worry after the first wash😂😘✨

1. What is Jagua?

Jagua is a natural dye derived from the fruits of the Genipa Americana tree that grows in the rainforests of Central and South America. The substance in the fruit has the ability to stain the skin to create temporary tattoos that lasts for up to two weeks, and that while its 100% natural! In the past years Jagua has gained popularity and Jagua is now used as temporary body art product next to traditional henna, by many henna artists worldwide.

Read our blog article about what jagua is.

2. Where does Jagua come from?

The Jagua story begins with the Genipa americana tree. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this tree often reaches up to 20 meters in height. These trees can live for several decades, with some even reaching the ripe age of a hundred years or more. The tree has a preference for humid, rain-soaked environments, making the Amazon basin its primary home. However, the cultivation and knowledge of Jagua have gradually extended beyond its native regions. Now, Jagua trees can be found in parts of Central America and even some areas of the Caribbean.

3. How does Jagua work?

Jagua Henna products create a dark blue to black temporary tattoo that lasts up to two weeks. The substance Genipa Americana oxidizes when exposed to air, this oxidation process is the reason that your skin can gradually darken. Once the tattoo is applied, we advise to leave the gel on the skin for at least 2,5 hours. When the gel is removed you will only see a slight stain, but don’t worry, the stain will come back and reach its most intense colour within 12-24 hours. Jagua Henna tattoos will gradually fade as your skin regenerates.

4. Differences between Jagua and traditional Henna

Jagua will dye the skin dark blue/black while traditional henna will dye the skin red/brown.
Jagua has been used for centuries by local tribes in Central and South America. Traditional henna has been used for centuries throughout the Middle East, Asia and North Africa.
Jagua has a different texture compared to henna. Jagua feels more as a gel while henna feels like a paste.

Read our blog article for more differences between jagua and henna.

5. Why Jagua is NOT black henna

Jagua Henna is NOT black henna. Please be aware of black Henna products! These products are made of traditional henna mixed with the chemical substance ParaPhenyleneDiamine (PPD). PPD can be harmful to the skin and can cause blisters and scars. We advice not to use these products to make temporary tattoos.

Jagua is the ONLY safe product that gives you a dark blue/black temporary tattoo. Our products do not contain these chemical substances. Our Jagua products are carefully researched, developed and produced. Because of this, always ask Jagua artists whether they can show appropriate Jagua Henna documentation.
