PPD SOLD AS "BLACK HENNA"

There are many temporary tattoo artists that maliciously brand their "henna ink" as "Black Henna". It's called PPD, short for P-PhenyleneDiamine.

This is a poisonous chemical ingredient often used in low quality hair dye.

Henna is never black! It reaches a deep brown color close to black on palms & soles only! So, please don't be fooled by those who want you harm!

We estimate about 20% of the population at large is allergic to this chemical, when applied on the skin. These are the individuals who are prone to get scared for life with a PPD application. This is not including other side effects PPD has on the liver and other parts of the human body!
