: Carrie,
: I was wondering, what is the special additive they give you to put
in.
: Most companies list the ingredients, do they?
: Jenna

In addition to the nice fresh finely sifted henna powder they give
you, there is a small bottle of "Earth Henna Solution" that contains
water, glycerin, black walnut extract, benzyl alcohol, sugar
sorbitol, citric acid, eucalyptus oil, disodium EDTA (which is food
grade salt) and lactic acid.

I have personally talked to Carine Fabius about the ingredients list
and there is nothing in here that can hurt anyone. These ingredients
are federally approved for food products. Except maybe the black
walnut extract, but that you can get as a natural remedy at a health
food store, though I'm not sure what ailments it might be for. I know
it gives a bit of a brown kick to the color. I've never, ever had
anyone get any reaction to this stuff. And the little squeeze bottle
that comes with the kit is great!
