Natural Dye - Henna

Henna Extract Powder Dye brings the warm, reddish-brown tones of traditional henna to textile dyeing. Made from the leaves of Lawsonia inermis, this concentrated plant-based extract offers reliable colour strength and easy handling for natural dyers. Henna produces a beautiful spectrum of warm amber, copper and reddish-brown tones, adding natural depth and warmth to fibres. The extract form dissolves easily in water, making it simpler to prepare than raw plant material while still delivering the characteristic earthy glow henna is known for.

With a long history as one of the world’s most widely used natural colourants, henna remains a favourite for dyers seeking soft, warm shades that feel timeless and organic.
