For millennia, juice from the unripe jagua fruit (Genipa americana) has been used to decorate the body. This Amazonian fruit produces a permanent, bluish-black stain that lasts until the skin fully exfoliates (approximately 1-2 weeks). Safe, non-toxic, and 100% natural, Jacquard is proud to offer the only powdered, shelf-stable form of jagua. Simply add water and essential oil to create a ready-to-use jagua gel. The mixed jagua gel will keep for at least one month before losing potency; refrigerate or freeze to extend its shelf life. Ingredients: dehydrated juice of the jagua fruit (Genipa americana), cane sugar, xanthan gum, citric acid.
