Premium Jagua Powder – Natural Indigo Blue/Black Body Art for Professionals & Artists
Discover the ancient art of jagua body decoration with our premium bulk jagua powder, made from freeze-dried juice of unripe genipapo fruits (Genipa americana). Ideal for professional artists who want to stock up with our bulk discount.
This natural, high-quality powder allows professional artists, henna specialists, and body art enthusiasts to create beautiful indigo blue to black temporary tattoos with ease and accuracy.
Our jagua powder is specially pre-mixed to prepare a gel, so all you need to do is add eucalyptus oil and water to create a smooth, ready-to-use paste. Unlike pre-made jagua gels that often have a limited shelf life, our dry powder maintains optimal freshness for up to a year, making it ideal for professional artists and workshops.
Traditional Roots and Cultural Significance
Jagua has a long history as a ritual and decorative body art medium, used for hundreds of years by native tribes in Central and South America. It has traditionally been applied during ceremonies, festivals, and rites of passage, offering a natural and non-toxic alternative to synthetic dyes. The rich indigo-blue to black stain produced by jagua provides an aesthetic comparable to temporary tattoos.
How It Works
When prepared, jagua gel produces vibrant, long-lasting designs that typically last 10–14 days, depending on skin type and placement. Unlike black henna, jagua does not contain PPD or chemical dyes, and its dark color develops naturally as it reacts with the skin.
Each 10 g pack of jagua powder is sufficient to make enough gel for 3–5 cones, giving you flexibility for body art sessions, workshops, or teaching classes. Our 100 g bulk option includes 10 x 10 g packs, perfect for professionals who need a reliable supply for their studio or resale business.
How to prepare jagua gel:
Mix 10 g of jagua pre-mixed powder with 30 ml of water until smooth, then add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of eucalyptus oil. Let it rest for about 5 minutes and mix it again throughly. (Jagua does not need a dye release time like henne. It is ready to use straight after mixing)
Apply fine lines on clean skin and leave the design on for 3–4 hours before washing it off. The stain will gradually darken to a deep blue-black within 24–48 hours.
Store the prepared gel in the freezer for long-term use.
Safe, Long-Lasting, and Easy to Use
The advantage of our jagua powder over ready-made gels lies in its extended shelf life, dry consistency, and lower risk of skin irritation. By keeping it in powder form until use, you can prepare fresh gel as needed, avoiding additives or preservatives that may cause allergic reactions. Once mixed, the gel can be stored in the freezer to extend its usability, making it convenient for professional artists who want to maintain high-quality products for clients.
Professional and Creative Use
Our jagua powder is perfect for:
Professional body art artists and henna specialists seeking a natural alternative to black henna.
Workshops and educational programs where students or clients can experience safe temporary tattoos.
Retailers or resellers who want to offer a high-quality, EU-compliant body art product.
The pre-mixed formula includes:
Freeze-dried jagua juice (Genipa americana) – the active coloring agent
Cane sugar – to help with smooth application
Xanthan gum – for gel consistency and easy cone filling
Citric acid – to balance pH and preserve natural color
Simply add eucalyptus oil and water, mix to a smooth gel, and your jagua paste is ready to use. The gel spreads easily, adheres to skin, and develops a vibrant indigo-blue to black stain within hours.
Storage and Longevity
Store the powder in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. Once the gel is prepared, keep it frozen to prolong its life and ensure optimal stain quality. This makes our jagua powder an ideal choice for studios, workshops, and professional events, where consistent quality is essential.
