frequently asked questions
how many designs per bottle?
it depends.
for small hand designs, you’ll get a lot of them.
for medium designs with decent detail, you’ll get a few.
for larger intricate designs you’ll get a couple.
we sell multipacks if you’re unsure!
how to remove?
once the stain is on skin it’s hard to remove.
do not use hard chemicals and do not scratch the skin as this will cause damage.
frequent washing and using moisturiser will help exfoliate the skin, lifting the stain quicker.
if you’ve made a mistake, relax, it’s temporary anyway.
how long does it last?
depends on your skin tone, depends on the thickness, depends how long you leave it to dry, depends if you leave if the bottle open too long, depends how often you wash, depends where you stain.
we say one to two weeks, but sometimes it could be three.
it depends!
when does it develop?
twelve to twenty four hours.
don’t be disillusioned when your stain doesn’t show up straight away, it oxides with the air to fully develop their dark tones.
is this black henna?
no.
black henna is often unregulated and can contain added chemical dyes — commonly PPD — to create an instant, very dark result. those additives are known to cause serious skin reactions, burns, and long-term sensitivity.
stain. does not contain those dyes.
our formula is plant-based and certified within the EU, meeting European cosmetic safety standards. the colour develops naturally over 12–24 hours as it oxidizes on the skin, reaching a blue-black tone without artificial black additives.
it fades gradually over 7–14 days as your skin renews.
as with any cosmetic product, we always recommend a patch test before full application — especially if you have sensitive skin.
