The black dye is extracted from an exotic fruit which is then processed and refined into Jagua Gel. They use this natural black dye to decorate their bodies and faces for ceremonial rites. The Jagua fruit (Genipa Americana) has been used by native tribes in South America for many centuries.
Jagua is a 100% safe black Temporary Tattoo Gel. But now a new product has come on the market that will hopefully eradicate these irresponsible people using PPD products and the heart ache they bring. It is forbidden to use on the skin by the European cosmetics regulations and the FDA in America, as it is classified as an extremely toxic substance which can cause blistering, scaring and much worse. Even though severe warnings have been issued through the media it has not stopped the demand, or the use of "black henna". The so called "black henna" that many unscrupulous artists use, in many countries is a chemical product known as PPD (Para-phenylenediamine) which gives a black result.
