Henna powder is a natural dye made from the dried leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant. It is commonly used for body art, creating intricate temporary tattoos, and for coloring hair, providing a reddish-brown hue. Henna has cooling and soothing properties and is often used in traditional medicine to promote scalp health and prevent dandruff. It also has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a popular ingredient in skincare. Henna powder is safe for most people but should be used with caution, as some individuals may experience allergic reactions.
Henna powder is a fine, greenish-brown powder made from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant, also known as the henna plant. The leaves are dried and ground into a powder, which is traditionally used for body art (henna tattoos) and hair coloring. When mixed with liquid (often lemon juice, tea, or water), it forms a paste that can be applied to the skin or hair. The paste stains the skin with an orange-brown to reddish-brown color, depending on the quality and freshness of the henna, as well as the application method.

Phytochemicals - The plant has wide range of phytochemicals including lawsone, isoplumbagin lawsoniaside, lalioside, lawsoniaside B, syringinoside, daphneside, daphnorin, agrimonolide 6-O-�²-D-glucopyranoside, (+)-syringaresinol O-�²-D-glucopyranoside, (+)-pinoresinol di-O-�²-D-glucopyranoside, syringaresinol di-O-�²-D-glucopyranoside, isoscutellarin3�², hennadiol, (20S)-3�², 30-dihydroxylupane, lawnermis acid, 3-methyl-nonacosan-1-ol, laxanthones I, II, III and lacoumarin etc. The various studies of L. inermis reported the plant to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antiviral, anticancer, antidiabetic, tuberculostatic, anti-inflammatory, antifertility and wound healing properties. This review discusses on the botany, traditional use, phytochemistry and pharmacological data of the plant. Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), also known as hennotannic acid, is a red-orange dye present in the leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis) as well as in the flower of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). Humans have used henna extracts containing lawsone as hair and skin dyes for more than 5000 years. Lawsone reacts chemically with the protein keratin in skin and hair, in a process known as Michael addition, resulting in a strong permanent stain that lasts until the skin or hair is shed.
