Henna is a popular cosmetic used for celebrations and events, particularly by women, to decorate hands. Traditionally, henna was applied using paste made from henna plant leaves. However, concerns are emerging regarding potential skin damage linked to modern henna products. The original practice of using natural henna leaf paste is less common now. The shift in application methods raises questions about the safety of ingredients found in commercially available henna. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent of skin reactions and potential long-term effects associated with contemporary henna use. Dermatologists advise caution and awareness regarding the composition of henna products.
