General About Sadaf & Our Products
Yes, absolutely. Every Sadaf product is formulated with 100% natural, plant-derived ingredients. We do not use parabens, sulphates, synthetic preservatives, PPD, mineral oil, artificial colours, or synthetic fragrances. What you see on the label is what's in the product — nothing more, nothing hidden.
Most commercial beauty products use synthetic chemicals for colour, fragrance, and preservation — many of which can be harsh on skin, hair, and the environment. Sadaf products are single-ingredient or minimal-ingredient herbal formulations. They work with your body's natural processes rather than overriding them, making them gentler and sustainable for long-term use.
Our products are generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin because they contain no harsh synthetic chemicals. However, natural ingredients can occasionally cause sensitivities in certain individuals. We recommend performing a patch test before full application — apply a small amount to the inner arm and wait 24 hours before use. If you have a known allergy to any specific herb, please check the ingredient list carefully.
All Sadaf products are manufactured by Raj Industries at our facility in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Nagpur's central location makes it ideal for sourcing herbs from across India's diverse agricultural regions. We have been manufacturing in Nagpur since 2005.
Mehndi Mehndi Cones & Powder
Sadaf Mehndi Cones have a shelf life of 6 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly. Store cones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 3–4 weeks for best colour results. Freeze unused cones for longer storage — they can be frozen for up to 12 months without significant quality loss.
The Regular Cone is our standard format — perfect for everyday use, home application, and occasional mehndi for festivities. The Big Cone contains a larger volume and is designed for professional mehndi artists who need uninterrupted flow during elaborate designs, and for sessions requiring more mehndi (such as bridal full-hand patterns). The formula in both is identical — same quality, same colour result.
Sadaf Mehndi colour typically lasts 1–3 weeks, depending on several factors: how long the paste was left on, aftercare (avoiding water for 6 hours after removing paste, applying coconut oil), the area of application (palms darken the most), and individual skin chemistry. Leaving the paste on longer (4+ hours) and avoiding excessive hand washing in the first 24 hours significantly extends colour longevity.
Yes, absolutely. Sadaf Herbal Mehndi Powder is excellent for natural hair colouring. Mix with warm water (and optionally lemon juice for richer colour), let the paste rest for 6–8 hours to activate, then apply to hair from root to tip. Leave on for 1–3 hours. The result is a warm, natural reddish-brown colour. For deeper brown or black, follow up with Sadaf Indigo Powder as a second step.
Absolutely not. PPD (para-phenylenediamine) is a synthetic dye commonly added to "black henna" to speed up the darkening process. It is known to cause severe allergic reactions and is banned or restricted in many countries. Sadaf Mehndi products contain zero PPD. Our Black Cone achieves its dark colour through a carefully formulated natural process — never through PPD.
Herbal Powders Hair, Skin & Wellness
It depends on the product type. Hair care powders (Amla, Shikakai, etc.) are generally suitable for 2–3 times per week use as cleansers or masks — daily use may be drying for some hair types. Skin care powders are typically used 2–3 times a week as face packs. Wellness powders can be used daily if advised for your constitution — start with smaller amounts and increase gradually. Always listen to your body and reduce frequency if you experience any sensitivity.
Sadaf herbal powders generally have a shelf life of 12–18 months from manufacture when stored in their original sealed packaging. After opening, store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container and use within 6–9 months for best potency. Keep away from moisture — a dry spoon should always be used to scoop powder from the pouch.
Most Sadaf wellness powders are safe for healthy adults when used as directed. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and individuals with specific medical conditions or on medication should consult a healthcare professional before use. Adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari have specific traditional recommendations for particular life stages and conditions — professional guidance is always recommended for therapeutic use.
After opening, transfer or reseal the powder in an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not refrigerate unless specified — condensation can introduce moisture and cause clumping. Always use a dry spoon to measure. Properly stored, opened powders maintain good quality for 6–9 months.
