Henna Water Soluble Extract | Mehndi, Gorintaku

Henna Liquid Extract delivers lawsone with gallic acid and luteolin glycosides from Lawsonia inermis leaf. Lawsone content decides dye strength and is what separates true henna from the PPD-adulterated black henna sold under the same name. Require a lawsone figure and a PPD-free declaration on every lot. Henna Water-Soluble Extract — known as Mehndi in Hindi, Marudhani in Tamil, Gorintaku in Telugu, Mailanchi in Malayalam, Mendi in Marathi, and Mehedi in Bengali (Lawsonia inermis).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Henna?
Most buyers use it in hair-colour liquid formulations and cosmetic water phases. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
