Pre-Made Henna Paste is found all over ebay and the internet. Here are some definite points to help you make the right decision.

Fresh henna paste does not have a very long shelf life. Henna paste can last only a few days in the fridge, and perhaps 12-24 hours if left out. It is best to store your henna paste in the freezer, and it can last up to 6 months. This way you don't waste any henna paste and get your money's worth.

There are pre-made tubes left at room temperature out on the shelf that could have been there for months. How is this possible? It isn't possible without perservatives and additives. So do you really want to put these ingredients onto your skin and into your system? Being told that you will get 100% henna paste is false advertising.

There are many ressources that will clearly explain how pre-made tubes of henna paste (on the shelf) will not retain it's dye for as long as you are being told.

It is important to use fresh henna paste where you know clearly that the ingredients are 100% safe and natural. That means no perservatives, no additives, and no PPD (black henna). Find a reputable supplier (ONLINE: for USA go to Henna Caravan, and for Canada go to Henna Sooq) and you will be guaranteed that you will find high quality henna paste with all the ingredients clearly labelled.

You also will be guaranteed a GREAT stain !! Dark stains from burgundy/mahogany to black cherry. Don't risk buying a tube of henna paste where the stain results and ingredients are not clear.

Happy Henna'ing !!
