Yes this one does care about safety over fashion...that is really a false choice!

Hi Khoa,

I don't think the choice is dark short-life stains vs black henna.
But rather dark short-life stains (natural henna with cajeput et.al)
vs perhaps not so dark longer-life stains (natural henna without
cajeput et. al.) I have gotten decent stains without the cajeput,
ravensara and tea tree oils. But with the cajeput I have gotten
GREAT stains that do indeed disappear more rapidly. Rather than
being a safety or fashion issue, I wondered about the issue of
economics...if people will be willing to pay the same price for a
design with a shorter life span though deeper stain. It is a trade
off and I will be very interested in seeing how my people react to
this. The safety issue is a given in my work.
