Meet Your Artist!
Sherri-Lyn Finlay is the talent behind KW's own Starbound Henna. Sherri is an artist whose most beautiful creations are expressed through a henna cone.

Starbound has brought hennalove to hundreds of people, with experiences at many events, big and small. You may have seen her doing henna at places like the St. Jacob's Farmer's Market, the Cherry Festival, the EHE Holistic Wellness Fair, the Ontario Cannabis Festival, or many other various events and markets around KW!
Using Only Natural Henna
Mixing her own paste using only the highest quality essential oils, sugars, and fresh all-natural milled henna powder, Starbound's henna is free of harsh chemical dyes and preservatives.
Henna is never black! "Black henna" that stains right away contains nasty chemical preservatives and dyes that can scar you and make you ill.
Natural henna stain starts out as bright pumpkin orange, and then darkens over the first few days after paste removal. Ultimately becoming a deep brown colour, henna is dazzling in its natural state, without the need for any added dyes.
What is Henna?
Henna is a plant (Lawsonia inermis) that grows in arid climates, usually near the equator in Africa and South Asia. Dried henna is milled down to a fine powder and mixed with essential oils to bring out the staining molecule in henna called lawsone. Add some sugar to make it extra sticky and you have natural henna paste! Henna has been used to protect, celebrate, and decorate for thousands of years across many regions and cultures.
Paste should be left on the skin for 2-8 hours to allow the lawsone to penetrate the top layers of your skin. The longer the paste is on, the more lawsone that transfers, meaning a darker and longer-lasting stain — up to 2 weeks!
