Which format suits you?

10 ml tube — your first go

The starter. Comes with a fine-tip applicator so you can draw straight from the tube — no extra kit needed. One tube gives you roughly 8 medium tattoos or up to 20 small ones. Brilliant for trying jagua for the first time, or for a single event: a hen do, a birthday, a festival weekend.

Best for: first-timers, one-off occasions, testing before you commit to a bigger size.
Price per ml: from £1.30/ml

100 ml refill pouch — you know you like it

Same gel, 10× the volume. Decant into your own cones or applicator bottles and you're sorted. Portion it into smaller pots on arrival, freeze them individually, and each one stays fresh for up to 2 years. The maths works out at 60% less per ml than buying tubes.

Best for: regular users, henna artists adding jagua to their offering, group sessions and workshops.
Yield: ~80 medium tattoos or 10 full-hand mehndi pieces
Price per ml: £0.50/ml

1 litre pro pouch — built for client work

The professional format. Fill roughly 50 cones in one batch session, freeze individually, pull one out 30 minutes before each appointment. One order covers a full season of markets, festivals, or months of client bookings. EU-certified (EC 1223/2009) — you can show the INCI list to clients with confidence.

Best for: professional body art and henna artists, event companies, workshop organisers.
Yield: ~800 medium tattoos or ~50 cones
Price per ml: £0.30/ml

Never used jagua before?

If this is your first time, start with the 10 ml tube — or, if you'd rather have everything in one box (stencils, gloves, transfer sheets, printed guide), have a look at our complete kits. For a full introduction to what jagua is and how it works, read our beginner's guide.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the tube and the pouches?

The 10 ml tube comes with a built-in applicator — ready to draw straight away. The pouches (100 ml and 1 L) are refill formats: you decant the gel into your own cones or applicator bottles. Same gel inside, different packaging.

Do I need anything else to get started?

With the 10 ml tube: no — the applicator tip is included. With the pouches: you'll need cones, a squeeze bottle, or an applicator with a fine tip. If you already have one from a kit or a previous tube, it works with that.

Which size should I buy first?

Never tried jagua? Go for the 10 ml tube. Already know you like it? The 100 ml pouch is the sweet spot for value. Working professionally? The 1 litre is the most economical per ml and covers a full season.

Frequently asked questions about jagua gel

Jagua is a natural ink from the Genipa americana fruit, which dyes skin deep blue-black for 7–15 days. Read the full jagua guide →

Three ingredients: Genipa americana fruit juice, squalane and xanthan gum. No PPD, no synthetic dyes. Dermatologically tested.

7 to 15 days depending on placement. The colour develops over 24–48 hours — first light grey, then blue, then deep blue-black. More on longevity →

Yes. The juice is the liquid extract from the fruit. The gel is the same substance, just thickened with xanthan gum so you can apply it with a brush like ink. The active ingredient (genipin) is identical — the only difference is the consistency.

Jagua is dermatologically tested and 100% natural. It's a tropical fruit, so do a patch test 48h before use if you have sensitive skin. Safety guide →

In the freezer at −18 °C it keeps for up to 2 years. In the fridge, up to 3 months. You can freeze and defrost it several times without losing quality. Tip: portion it as soon as it arrives.

Henna gives an orange-brown, jagua a deep blue-black. Henna comes from a shrub, jagua from a fruit. "Black henna" sold at markets often contains PPD — our jagua is 100% PPD-free. Full comparison →
