Henna ingredients may cause cancer

The Cancer Blog

Apr 3rd 2006 9:28PM This article misrepresents henna. It doesn't make it clear enough that PPD is the criminal, not henna. The only words that really jump out while reading are "henna may cause cancer." Henna is one of the safest, most wonderful things to use on your skin. It is possible to be allergic to it, but that reaction is much more rare than one to PPD, and won't cause cancer or scarring like PPD laced henna can. Bottom line, if you want henna, do your research first. Make sure the artist or supplier uses quality henna. NEVER try anything that says "Black" Henna, cause that's the bad stuff.
