Black Henna May Cause Mild To Serious Allergic Reactions and Injuries To Skin
BROWARD Spring breakers are flocking to Broward beaches and the Broward County Health Department wants everyone to stay healthy and safe. That’s what it is issuing an advisory on black henna tattoos.
Black henna tattoos are chemically treated. They are very popular with young children, teens and visitors who want to enjoy a “temporary” tattoo.
Black henna, a coloring made from a plant and approved only for use as a hair dye, may cause mild to serious allergic reactions and injuries to the skin.
Henna typically produces a brown orange-tint; other ingredients must be added to produce other colors, such as those marketed as black henna.
This so-called black henna may contain the ingredient p-phenylenediamine (PPD), which creates a darker tattoo. PPD is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for direct application to the skin.
Consumers are cautioned to be aware of the risks associated with henna tattoos in general, and black henna tattoos in particular.
For more information or to report any adverse reactions to black henna, call the FDA’s Florida district office at 305-526 2800, extension 916 or FDA Consumer Affairs at 866-337-6272.

Mehndi reached India with the Arab invaders and became popular in northern states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Gujarat. But then, its use was purely utilitarian as the paste is supposed to keep the hands and feet cool. Only later, women began experimenting with different patterns and an art was born.
You can find African, Arabic and Middle Eastern influences in mehndi patterns.
Indian mehndi styles are also distinctive for their intricate filigree-like work, which can completely cover the hands and wrists, often going right up to the elbow. On the legs it adorns the feet, the ankles and sometimes reaches up to the knees.
In Arabia, henna enjoyed religious sanction and even today, Muslims believe that its application is sunnah (a meritorious act). This explains why conservative Muslim women wear mehndi on their hands, feet and hair right through the year.
What, however, escapes that people is that mehndi is not Indian in origin, but draws upon a tradition that was adopted them north Africa. Almost 5000 years ago, the Egyptians discovered that paste from the henna plant had preservative properties and hence, was applied to the hands and toes of dead Pharaohs as part of the mummification ritual.
