You simply mix your henna with water or rosewater. The dye is ready for use without a chemical process. That is one of the benefits of Brow Henna. With other eyebrow dye products, such as Lash FX, this is necessary and an oxidant is therefore added to the powder to make the paint ready for use. Take a dropper bottle on the pipette here.

9. Can you give a guarantee on how long henna remains on the skin?

One of the advantages of brow henna is that it last on the skin up to 2 weeks. But it is not smart to make promises about it.
