Jagua (Genipa Americana)

Jagua is a rare, rainforest fruit with a deep cultural significance, cultivated by Indigenous tribes for thousands of years. Revered for its medicinal properties, jagua also offers a unique dark blue-black hue that safely dyes food, hair, and skin. When applied to the skin, jagua’s magic unfolds in two stages: the design initially fades after the first wash, only to gradually reemerge with rich, bold color hours later. This fascinating transformation has made jagua a popular choice for those eager to experiment with tattoo-like designs without the permanence, offering a temporary yet striking way to express personal style or intentions.

***Jagua is not the so called "Black Henna." It is a 100% natural product and contains no harmful chemicals such as P.P.D. 

*Care instructions: 

1. Wash & exfoliate skin prior to application.

2. After your Jagua design is applied, be very mindful not to let anything touch it until it has dried (approx. 30-45 minutes.)

3. Leave Jagua gel on to set for 2-4 hours. 

4. Avoid getting it wet or touching it during this time.

5. After 2-4 hours, remove Jagua gel under cool to warm running water. 

Once gel is off use a mild soap to remove any residue.

ALMOST INVISIBLE AT FIRST, Jagua's midnight blue color will develop in 6-24 hours.
