Wwhe that came out in 1997 I had a little trouble getting my henna
powder past customs in those days, but they were looking for labels
that pointed to use on the skin, Henna is not FDA approved, but can
be used legally as a cosmetic or cosmetic dye as we all know i, it in
everything now days.
I would like to find the 1965 report that the FDA put out when the
instant suntain lotion that contained henna was banned, because of
complaints by consumers, not heath complaints but cosmetic
complaints (orange skin, black blotches, etc. This is what caused the
Henna to be approved for hair only, but not for skin.
We are completely safe as long as the ingredents are listed on the
label and none of as the other ingredents are FDA no no's for the
skin.
A good PH balanced product that contains henna and is fresh, will not
hurt anyone, this is why is is very important to be careful what is
mixed into henna and what is used next to it, because of reactions.

Years ago I tried Logwood dye a simple dye made of sawdust, That was
a big mistake, talk about red burning bumbs for a week and that was
only sawdust..
