Jagua Powder - Premix

Jagua powder premix

Our jagua powder premix, pre-blended with xanthan gum, is 100% pure Genipa americana with a natural organic preservative to keep it fresh. It is 100% skin safe and gives a blue-black stain. As a natural product, the powder colour can vary slightly from pouch to pouch without affecting the stain.

This premix already has xanthan gum blended in, so you just add water and essential oil to make jagua gel. It can also be added to henna for hengua.

Why choose jagua powder premix?

• Quick to mix: no need to measure or add xanthan gum.
• Consistent: the same reliable gel every time.
• Long-lasting: keeps far longer than ready-made gel until you mix it.

How to make jagua gel

For every 10g of premix, add 50ml of water and 3ml of essential oil. You do not need to add any more xanthan gum.

1. Add the water and essential oil to the premix and stir into a smooth gel.
2. Leave it to rest, then stir again.
3. For very fine work, strain the gel through a stocking.
4. Fill cones or applicator bottles, and freeze anything you will not use within a few days.

Results

Leave jagua on the skin for about 1 to 2 hours, or until dry, then wash it off gently. The design looks faint at first, then darkens to blue-black over 48 to 72 hours and usually lasts one to two weeks. Do a small patch test first.

Jagua powder premix or raw jagua powder?

Premix is the easiest option, as the thickener is already blended in. Raw jagua powder lets you control the thickness yourself by adding your own xanthan gum.

Storage

Keep unopened packs in a cool, dry, dark place, or in the freezer for long-term storage. Once mixed, keep jagua gel frozen until needed.

Packs

Heat-sealed 10g and 100g packs. Wholesale quantities are also available.
