Description

Henna Powder - Lawsonia inermis - 10 grams (Pale greenish brown shades).

This powder is a light green colour which produces golden brown tones in a white soap base. It is a completely natural product which can be used to safely dye soap.


Please note, natural henna powder derived from the henna plant is green, not red :) 

HOW TO MAKE AN INFUSIONUse either water or oil as your substrate, depending on what your product is based on, either oil or water :)
Water based infusions are best for water based melt/pour soap
In an old saucepan, warm some vegetable oil such as sunflower/rice bran/olive oil etc. It's best not to use coconut oil, unless you want a solid oil when it cools...Once the oil is warm/hot, then add the herb to infuse. (You could probably do this in the microwave using a non plastic container due to staining). Heat until combined - there will be grainy residue remaining in oil, so strain the new coloured oil using an old colander/strainer and paper towel, muslin cloth or paper coffee filter, into a clear glass jug.  
It is recommended to use latex gloves during handling to avoid staining hands. There are no set rules about how much to use...it depends on what colour strength you require. 

Please note that this product has not been tested in cold processed soap.
