Sojat Henna has earned its reputation as the most credible, soulful source of the Green Gold of India- henna on the planet. It comes from a GI (Geographical Indication) tag certified small town in the state of Rajasthan, Sojat. From the red carpets of celebrities to the intricate palms of a bride, this isn’t just dye—it’s an experience. When that signature deep crimson blooms on your skin or hair, it doesn’t just leave a color; it etches a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Before diving deep into the gain-grounds of the Sojat henna, let’s start with learning about Henna first.

Henna: The Legacy in Leaves

Henna is a small plant (a shrub). The henna plant grows henna leaves. The Botanical name of the Henna plant is Lawsonia Inermis. The Henna leaves release a dye content that gives a reddish-brown colour. That content is known as Lawsone. The leaf of the henna plant contains a finite amount of Lawsone molecule.

The henna plant contains Lawsone, which is a reddish-orange dye that binds to the keratin (a protein) in our skin and safely stains the skin. The stain can be from pale orange to deep burgundy, depending on the quality of the henna, and well, one’s skin adapts/react to it. A pure henna like

with Nilgiri Oil, fresh from hot & dry climates, will stain the darkest.

The dye prepared from the henna plant is used for temporary tattooing, nail art, and hair dye. Henna has been used for centuries to dye skin, hair, and fingernails.

The Green Gold of India

Henna grows in various places all around the globe, such as some parts of Africa, Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, and India. It is also found in other hot climates like Pakistan, India, and Australia. These places have favorable climates and land for growing henna plants.  It can be found widespread in other hot climates.

The plant grows best in temperatures up to 120F degrees and contains more dye at these temperatures. Inversely, it wilts in temperatures below 50F degrees. It also grows better in dry soil, as opposed to damp soil. The leaves are in opposite decussate pairs and vary in size from approximately 2-4 cm. long.
