I mix my own, using only natural ingredients for the deepest, safest stain. ## Photos and videos - [Video: The first step in my process is mixing the henna powder with essential oils and other natural ingredients.

The answer is simple: those chemical cones are full of toxins that can harm your skin. When I mix my batch using pure Sojat powder and essential oils, I am not just making paste, I am ensuring your skin stays safe and the color turns out a deep, rich maroon. This process requires patience, but it is the only way I work. Store-bought henna often relies on chemical dyes and preservatives to create a dark color quickly. My approach is different. I believe the skin is sacred, and as I always say, ek dil hai, ek jaan hai, dono meri mehndi pe qurbaan (my heart and soul are dedicated to mehndi). By using natural Sojat powder—sourced for its high dye content—and mixing in the right essential oils, I achieve that deep stain naturally. It takes time. It takes patience to get the consistency perfect so that the paste flows smoothly from the cone without clogging, allowing for the precise, intricate lines you see in my gallery. When you book me for your bridal or party mehndi, you aren't just getting an artist; you're getting a guarantee that no harmful chemicals will touch your skin. Whether it is for a wedding or a festival, I bring this freshly prepared, chemical-free experience to your doorstep anywhere in Mumbai. I do not rush the mixing, just like I do not rush the application. Quality takes time, and your special day deserves the best. ## About Saniya Javed Khan Hi, I’m Saniya.
