From
The Body Art Shop.com > PPD - Be Informed For Your Safety
"Stay Away From Products That...." lists of 8 warning signs including
"Claim to be ‘Black Henna'" and
"Contain a greyish – purple coloured powder that you need to mix with water."
It sounds suspicious enough to avoid IMO - just not worth the risk. You never know when you've been sensitised and if the next time will be a really bad reaction. (oww, Eve, poor you, what a horrible experience
