Complaint Details
I bought henna which prominently displays 'Natural & Herbal Henna'. The ingredients in small letters on the other side include substances such as sodium benzoate, methyl paraben and propyl paraben which contradict the claim of being ‘natural and herbal’.
The above artificial chemical substances are known to have many harmful effects on human skin and health.
