Jagua - the colour is blue-black
Jagua is a natural product just like Henna. It is made out of the juice of the fruit of the Jenipapo tree (genipa americana). Many tribes have been painting their skin with the blue-black colour for more than two thousand years.
The results are very similar to a permanent tattoo. Therefore Jagua also provides the option to try out a tattoo before going for an indelible version.
Jagua gel stains both thick and thin skin very well.
Henna and Jagua both work in the same way. The colour penetrates the first layer of skin and stays there until that layer has completely renewed itself.
It lasts for approximately 2 to 3 weeks and then gradually disappears completely.
Important! My henna paste and my jagua gel do not contain the fast colouring controversial additive PPD (p-Phenylendiamin). They smell herbal and fruity. PPD on the other hand smells pungent. Another indicator of the presence of PPD is that the colour penetrates the skin much quicker than Henna or Jagua. This ''black henna’’ is popular in many holiday resorts. Its use can result in serious allergic reactions.
