How to make a basic henna paste at home and apply it to skin
Henna has a history of being used in the making of designs of the body and hair for thousands of years. Henna paste is traditionally made by grinding the henna plant into a powder and mixing it with water. Choosing the right consistency can make all the difference between a well-applied design and one that looks like it was quickly slapped on by a three-year-old. Nowadays, many people choose to use pre-made henna paste which is available at many large craft stores or online.

Essential Oils
Henna contains molecules that are hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. The addition of a
solvent helps miscellaneous dyes release more easily into the liquid and come out stronger.
The incorporation of other natural ingredients, such as essential oils, adds to this complicated
chemical reaction. These 'terps' are often used in combination with the henna powder to create a
potent stain upon application to the skin. Henna contains molecules that are hydrophobic, meaning
they do not like water. The addition of a solvent helps miscellaneous dyes release more easily into the
liquid and come out stronger.
To enable deeper penetration and concentration of the dye, Henna is combined with essential oils
containing hydrophobic compounds, or odorless solvents. The dye that penetrates into the dermal
layer of your skin has a molecular structure similar to the protein in your skin cells. This makes your
stain more permanent and long-lasting. NMP is Best Organic Henna Powder Suppliers.
