Is Jagua safe?

JaguaHenna™ tattoo gel is a safe cosmetic product that can be applied directly on the skin.

What is JaguaHenna™ gel made of?

Our JaguaHenna™ formula contains – besides the fruit juice of Genipa Americana an Olive oil derivative (Phytosqualane), a thickener (Xanthan gum), water, a preservative (Sodium benzoate) a preservative (Potassium Sorbate) and Citric Acid. Al these ingredients are 100% natural and are also used in food products.

Can anyone use Jagua?

As some people are allergic to fruit or peanuts, it can occur that people are sensitive to Jagua. We do not recommend the use of Jagua gel for people with fruit-allergies, eczema, extremely sensitive skin and/or G6PD. To prevent allergic reactions or irritations, test Jagua on a small patch of skin before applying the tattoo. The tattoo can be drawn without a problem if you’re not experiencing any irritation within 15 – 120 minutes.

Why use a needle when it's for external use only?

True, JaguaHenna™ is exclusively for external use. We provide blunt needles to create detailed drawings on the skin. This accompanying needle is blunt and simply clicks into JaguaHenna™ tubes. Basically, it's a Click & Go system :-)
