Sensitivity
Test
Prepare a little
of the product as if for use. Apply it to the

any rash, itching or burning occurs in the place
or near it, the person is sensitive to the

Tips for Using Surya Henna Cream
•For best results, prior to using the product, wash the hair with Surya Restorative Shampoo to remove residues such as gel, fixative, cream or oil. After colouring, Surya Brasil's Colour Fixation Conditioner or Leave-In Conditioner can be used for added manageability and for extending colour duration.
•The use of thermal bonnet results in a more intense colour
•Different colours of Surya Henna Cream can be used to obtain special colours.
•Surya Henna Cream may be applied several times without any interval.
•Surya Henna Cream is indicated for all hair types. Colour uptake should be monitored in the case of dry, damaged or processed hair.
•In case of error in the selection of a colour, another Surya Henna Cream can be applied immediately after previous colouring, leaving your hair shiny and radiant.

Henna Cream Ingredient List
Deionized Water: Transmitter vehicle
Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether: This mild synthetic solvent is a large molecule which precludes it from penetrating deeply into the skin. This is in contrast to propylene glycol which penetrates the skin and allows undesirable ingredients such as dyes, preservatives and synthetic agents in formulation to enter more easily into the stratum corneum of the skin.
Cetearyl Alcohol: Derivative of coconut. It is a very safe natural wax used as a viscose controlling agent
Cetrimonium Chloride: Derivative of coconut. It is used for its conditioning properties
Babaçu (Orbignya oleifera) Seed Oil: High in fatty acids, Amazonian fruit that has a oleic profile similar to coconut used for its emollient properties.
Vegetable Glycerin: Humectant. Derived from vegetable sources, glycerin is a by-product of soap making.
Botanical Extracts:
- Henna (Lawsonia inermis)* - Historically used for its scalp and skin conditioning properties. Henna forms a protective layer on each hair strand enhancing shine and condition of the cuticle
- Arnica (Arnica montana)* - Plant which is a capillary stimulant and acts as a vasoprotector
- Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)* - Plant that acts as an analgesic and a bactericide
- Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita)* - Plant that acts as a dermal protector, decongestant and is a natural tranquilizer
- Amla (Phylanthus embilica)* - Indian fruit rich in vitamin C
- Mallow (Malva sykvestris)* - Plant that acts as an emollient is a natural tranquilizer and protector
- Hazelnut (Corylus rostrata)* Source of fatty acids, moisturizes and enriches formula
- Guaraná (Paulinia cupana)* - Brazilian fruit that acts as a capillary stimulant enhancing circulation of the scalp
- Açaì (Euterpe oleracea)* - Brazilian fruit that moisturizes, acts as an emollient and as a remineralizer
- Carrot (Daucus carota sativa)* - softens and protects skin
- Juá (Zizyphus joaseiro)* Indigenous to north eastern Brazil this plant has natural saponins which act as a lathering agent. Brazilian Jua fruit lends tensoactive, anti-inflammatory and peripheral circulation stimulant properties to the formula
- Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis)* - Plant that is renown for its moisturizing properties, softens and acts as an emollient
- Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia)* - Brazilian fruit rich in vitamin C
- Brazil Nut (Bertholletia exclesa)* Moisturizes, revitalizes, conditions and acts as an emollient.
Hydroxyethylcellulose: Natural gum of plant origin
Essentials Oils: Rose (Rosa centifola), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) Sandalwood (Santalum album)
Dehydroacetic Acid and Benzyl Alcohol: Preservatives that are gentle alternatives to formaldehyde donors and halogen based preservatives (common halogens are chlorine, bromine, and fluoride), which are suspected of causing cancer and are potent allergic agents
Aminomethyl Propanol: Synthetic, soft alkalizer used to adjust Ph as needed
Hair colour dyes: Though our dyes are synthetic, they are carbon based and not heavy metal based. We have chosen the mildest of hair dyes and continue to monitor safety tests on these ingredients. Many hair colour dyes have not been tested for human safety. We avoid those dyes that have been tested and found questionable to humans.

Questions and
Answers
Q. What is
the difference between Surya Henna Cream and
other hair colouring
products?
A. Surya
Henna Cream is a semi permanent hair colour. Our
unique technology allows Surya to use a gentler
means to colour the hair and cover gray than
traditional hair colouring applications. Surya
Henna Cream does not contain peroxide, ammonia,
resorcinol, PPD or heavy metals. We use both
plant dyes and gentle hair dyes to colour the
hair. We also include 15 high quality herbs and
fruits to add conditioners to the hair, giving
your hair a treatment while
colouring.
Q What is
the difference between Surya Henna Powder and
Surya Henna Cream?
A. Surya
Henna Powder is 100% plant material, composed
only of dried and ground plants and fruits. The
pigment of the colouring comes only from the
tannins and naturally occurring pigments. Surya
Henna Cream offers a fuller range of colours by
using gentle hair dyes as the pigment in the
product. In addition, Surya Henna Cream adds the
unique blend of 15 exotic herbs and fruits to
provide a healthy treatment for the
hair.
Q. Can I
lighten my hair with Surya Henna
Cream?
A. Surya
Henna Cream does not lighten the hair because it
does not contain ammonia or peroxide.
Q. How
long does Surya Henna Cream
last?
A. Surya
Henna Cream washes out in 7 to 10 shampoos. The
life and vibrancy of the colour can be enhanced
by using Surya Brasil's Colour Fixation hair
care products.
Q. I
recently got a permanent and dyed my hair with a
conventional product. My roots are showing
already! Since I can't go back to the
hairdresser for a couple of weeks, I was
wondering if I could apply your Henna Cream
product now.
A. Yes, you can
cover those roots with Surya Henna Cream now.
The product conditions your hair so it helps
correct the damage done by harsh methods of
colouring. When you apply your Surya Henna
Cream, start with those pesky roots so that the
colour will remain on that section of the hair
for the longest amount of time. Another benefit
of Surya Henna Cream is that it gradually washes
out - exposed 'root line' is never a
problem.
Q. What is
the suggested interval between applications of
Surya Henna Cream?
A. Since Surya
Henna Cream does not harm the hair, applications
may be made as frequently as a person wants.
There is no specific time interval needed
between usages. After application of the
product, you may immediately apply another
colour if you do not achieve the results you
desire. If for some reason you wanted to apply
the colour every day it would be safe to do.
Every time you colour with Surya Henna Cream you
are treating your hair to a conditioning
treatment as well.
Q. Can I
mix Surya Henna Powder with Surya Henna
Cream?
A. No, it
is not advised. However you may mix henna cream
colours with other henna cream colours to blend
your own unique shade.
Q. Can men
use Surya Henna Cream?
A. Yes,
anyone can use Surya Henna Cream. It works well
on gray hair, especially when the gray is more
than 40% of the hair. Our convenient resealable
packaging is great for shorter hair as you may
store the remainder until you are ready for the
next application.
Q. Is it
safe to use Surya Henna Cream while I am
pregnant?
A. Yes,
our henna cream can be used safely during
pregnancy because it does not contain heavy
metals or any aggressive chemicals. However,
because women have more possibility for
sensitivities during pregnancy it is advisable
to perform a skin sensitivity test 24 hours
prior to using Surya Henna Cream on the
hair.
Q. I have
a lot of allergies; can I use Surya Henna
Cream?
A.
Sensitivities are individual in nature. We
suggest testing a small area of the skin 24
hours before use of the product, especially if
the client has a history of allergy
concerns.
Q. How do
semi-permanent colours work? Why are they better
than permanent?
A. Surya
Henna Cream, a semi-permanent hair colouring,
uses gentle dyes with low molecular weight that
act by depositing the colour on the
strands and penetrating only the superficial
layer of the hair. The product lasts for 7-10
shampoos. Permanent methods of colouring use
harsh chemicals (ammonia) to penetrate the
cuticle, allowing colours and other chemical
agents (peroxide) to enter the cortex of the
hair. This violent process leaves the hair
damaged and vulnerable to environmental
stress.
Q. I have
dark brown hair but about 50% has turned white.
How should I darken these white
hairs?
A. We
suggest using Surya Henna Cream in dark brown or
chocolate brown for 60 minutes. When you have
more than 40% white hair, you will achieve the
best results with Henna Cream rather than Henna
powder.
