We use talc that contains no asbestiform minerals, which is tested using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).

Henna

Henna is a natural, plant-based coloring derived from the powdered leaves of the Lawsonia inermis shrub. We use 100% organic, pesticide-free henna with no synthetic additives. Henna's hennotannic acid creates a beautiful red-orange tint, sealing in moisture and providing a natural shine to hair. Our henna is 100% natural and organic. It contains no synthetic additives or chemicals. Henna helps provide a healthy shine and seals hair cuticles.

Nanotechnology in Cosmetics

Nanoparticles are extremely small particles, typically less than 100 nanometers in size. In cosmetics, nanoparticles are used in various products like sunscreens, moisturizers, and makeup to enhance their properties. While nanoparticles offer benefits, we avoid them due to potential safety concerns. Nanoparticles may penetrate skin more easily, causing irritation or inflammation. There are concerns about the long-term environmental impact of nanoparticles.The long-term safety of nanoparticles is still under research.

Ecological Impact

We use iron oxide-based inorganic dyes that have minimal environmental impact. These dyes do not contribute to water pollution and do not accumulate in the soil.
