White horsetail (Lawsonia inermis)

Other names: Henna

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


The white henna (Lawsonia inermis), or henna, is a shrub or small tree found in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in the Near and Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. It is best known for its excellent dyeing properties, which are particularly useful in the cosmetics industry. It usually grows to a height of between two and six metres and is characterised by its appearance with a profusion of small, non-permanent flowers with a wonderful fragrance that appear in summer along the branches.

The powder from the leaves of the white henna tree, charmingly named henna, is popular not only for its natural properties but also for its uses. Used primarily for skin and hair coloring, reviving or changing the hue of hair with henna is considered by many to be a more natural and less chemical alternative to traditional hair dyes. Henna is also very popular for tattoos, but these "henna tattoos" are temporary and wear off over time. Another widespread use can be found in dermatology - henna is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and promotes rapid wound healing. Although the white henna is inconspicuous in appearance, its benefits for the cosmetic and body care industry are undoubtedly enormous.
