Jagua Paste Cones

Jagua paste cones: jagua that flows like henna

Our jagua paste cones hold a jagua paste specially formulated for a smoother, creamier consistency that closely resembles traditional henna paste. Unlike standard jagua gel, which can be stringy, it flows evenly for precise, intricate designs.

It gives a rich, deep blue-black stain that lasts for days. Suitable for beginners and professional artists. The paste is strained through a fine cloth before packaging. Freeze until needed.

Why choose jagua paste cones?

• Henna-like flow: familiar to henna artists, with fine, controlled lines.
• Less stringy: easier to fill large areas and shading than gel.
• Natural blue-black: made from jagua, the fruit of Genipa americana, with no PPD.

How to use

1. Thaw a frozen cone at room temperature, then snip the very tip.
2. Apply to clean, dry skin with no lotion or oil.
3. Leave on for about 1 to 2 hours, or until dry, then wipe or wash it off gently.

Jagua works differently from henna. The design looks faint at first, then darkens to blue-black over 48 to 72 hours, and usually lasts one to two weeks. As with any skin product, do a small patch test first.

Storage

Keep jagua paste cones in the freezer until needed. Once thawed, store them in the fridge and use within a few days. Avoid thawing and refreezing the same cone repeatedly, as this weakens the stain.

Good to know

Jagua stains are not instant: the colour builds over 48 to 72 hours, so apply designs two to three days before an event. Do not mix jagua with lemon juice, which can weaken the result.
