Everything you need to know

Our jagua gel is made from Genipa americana fruit juice, with squalane, xanthan gum, acacia senegal gum, phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. No PPD, no synthetic dyes, no alcohol. Compliant with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, vegan, made in Europe.

10 ml tube — comes with a fine-tip Luer Lock applicator. Good for ~8 medium designs. The one to start with if you're trying jagua for the first time, or if you like detailed freehand work.

100 ml refill pouch — same gel, ten times the volume. Transfer it into your own applicator bottles or cones. Better value if you're working with stencils, doing multiple designs, or sharing with friends.

1 liter pro pouch — for professionals, henna artists, event organizers, and anyone who goes through gel regularly. The most economical option per ml.

Tattoo testers — want to see how a design looks on your body before going permanent? Jagua gives you the most realistic preview possible.

Henna artists branching out — if you already work with henna cones, jagua gel handles the same way but stains blue-black instead of brown. Same technique, different result.

Festival & event prep — waterproof once developed. Survives rain, sweat, sunscreen, and a weekend of dancing.

Creative projects — body art sessions, photoshoots, bachelorettes, birthday parties. Anywhere you want temporary ink that actually looks real.

Jagua needs 24–48 hours to develop its full color. Right after washing off the gel, the stain looks faint — almost invisible. That's normal. Give it a day and it'll darken to a deep blue-black. Full application guide included with every order, or check our complete jagua guide.

Store unused gel in the freezer — it stays fresh for up to 2 years. Thaw at room temperature before use. More storage tips on each product page.
