Thank you! Can I still add water to the mixture? I usually add 1 part Henna with 1 part water to soak overnight. Can I additionally add some Glycerin to keep it preserved? -

MemberNovember 11, 2016 at 11:42 am in reply to: Retort Packaging of skin/hair care product - Looking for co-packers, contract manufactures@Bill, yes I am working with pure Henna, nothing adulterated. Henna in powder format is OK but in paste it won’t stain after 24 hrs of exposure after the dye has released, I tested myself.
SO if nothing works for packaging the Henna Paste then I may have to drop that idea and go with regular route of packing in powder but I see there are lot many players in the market to do the same.
But thanks for your feedback and help, appreciate it!

Thank for all the information provided, appreciate your help. I had the same doubt whether the food packaging companies would do any cosmetic packaging using, but I thought mine is completely herb based and no artificial ingredients. But again that requires a lot of explaining .. not sure if this is a viable idea.I am planning to sell each unit as one time use product, any leftover can be frozen but I guess a 4 Oz can is required for one use. My product can be heated and cooled and it doesn’t affect it’s ability to stain/ dye.
Do you see other way besides aseptic, retort packaging? Is there a simple way of canning in bottles? I am thinking that would be bit expensive as the cost of bottles would be much higher than plastic stand up pouches. Please advise.

MemberNovember 10, 2016 at 2:33 pm in reply to: Retort Packaging of skin/hair care product - Looking for co-packers, contract manufactures@ Bill, my product is henna based and it is not the preservative that makes the Dye less efficient, but the oxidation process. Henna dye release is bit tricky, to get the henna release dye, it has to be soaked for few hours and the dye starts to dismiss it’s staining ability after few hours of dye release. So vaccum packaging is the only option I see here as it stops the oxidation and preserves staining ability. Henna paste is a herbal paste, so I am wondering if there is any other way for vaccum packaging besides canning or aseptic or retort packaging.
