organic-ingredients.pngOrganic Essential Oil

Our Organic Cajeput is an exceptional ’terp’ that gives excellent henna stains reliably and has a mild pleasant scent that is less pungent than tea tree. This is a great base for blending custom essential oil mixes because it blends pleasantly with a variety of scents. To achieve the darkest, most reliable henna stains, use quality essential oils high in mono-terpene alcohols, or ‘terps’. Essential oils are the secret to rich, dark stains even on the hardest to stain parts of the body like backs and bellies.

If you haven't used a premium terp before, you will be amazed at what happens with your henna paste. Henna Caravan uses only the highest quality of pure, 100% natural essential oils. We have chosen our variety of essential oil terps carefully based on their chemical makeup and ability to produce optimal results safely and without irritation. Cajeput is Henna Caravan’s preferred ‘terp’ for henna paste.
