We are a family, who have been into Henna Business for the last 4 generations. Earlier the henna was produced in the out skirts of Delhi in place called Faridabad, Haryana. This place was known the world over as the best source of quality henna. Due to urbanization, the land was converted from fields into colonies and as such the production of henna was shifted to Sojat in Rajasthan, where climatic conditions similar to Faridabad exist. Sojat produces the largest quantity of the finest quality henna in terms of colour and conditioning both for use in India & abroad. Incidentally, henna is produced in limited quantities only in few other countries like Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt & Iran and as such India is the biggest source of henna for the world.

M/s. Impression Cosmetics was started in the year 1990. It was started with an intent to make good quality Herbal Based Powder Hair Colour. The formulation was developed after careful study and user trials & the product `Impression' Kali Mehndi was introduced in the market Subsequently, we widened our range to include all popular colours like Brown, Burgundy, Golden, Mahogany Brown etc.

The Company is registered with the Drug Controller of India and has ISI Certification since 1992. We have constantly strived to make improvements in our product since beginning and made it amongst the best available in the market.

Our associate concerns are producing henna in Rajasthan for the last 3 decades. The henna produced by them is exported to over 20 countries world wide. Since the quality of the product depends on the raw leaves due care is taken in monitoring the produce rights from the fields to the final product to yield optimum results. Impression procures henna from its associate concerns to maintain consistency and assurance of the final product.

The life style in the last two decades has undergone a tremendous change due to influence of T.V., Films and Print Media. The hair colours, which was an insignificant product until a few years back emerged as the most essential fashion accessory since the nineties. The hair colour market is dominated by cosmetic companies mostly marketing chemical based colours. It is an acknowledged fact that all chemicals have some side effects, compelling more discerning customers to explore herbal based substitutes.

Since henna had been used as a hair colorant and decorative medium from time immemorial; it was natural that scientists and cosmetologist made use of henna as a chemical substitute for making hair colours. Thus, the henna based colours emerged as a good viable and economical substitute for purely chemical based colours
