Cassia Obovata is a plant grown in East Africa and India and harvested for use in folk medicine hair as well as the hair care industry. Ancient SunriseĀ® Cassia obovata is 100% pure powdered, dried cassia leaves. Cassia powder has a pleasant smell similar to a heap of warm mowed grass. Cassia leaves and flowers contain chrysophanic acid (chysophanol), a golden yellow anthraquinone molecule, chrysophanol (1,8-Dihydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone). The crysophanic acid in cassia can dye pale or gray hair a golden-wheat color, but the stain is not as permanent as henna. The dye is translucent and does not make dark hair a lighter color.
