Yes, natural henna powder is safe for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Although, you may have a reaction to the other ingredients in the henna paste. Essential oils and acidic lemon juice help to release a dark and long-lasting henna tattoo, but you may find they cause dryness or other potential reactions. Test the paste in a small spot before committing to a full henna tattoo to see how your skin will react.
If you find henna tattoos cause dryness, we recommend using coconut oil to help soothe and moisturize. Plus you’ll get the added bonus of longer lasting henna tattoos.
