A question about freshness (mostly, anyway).

I've finally managed to locate a potential source of henna in Sweden.
The company selling it (www.crearome.se) seems to be selling various
products for making your own beauty products to both customers and
resellers, and they have both a henna they claim is entirely pure and
some pre-made mixes. These are mostly herbal (they have one which is
primarily Cassia Italica, and one which is pure Indigo) judging by the
thorough-looking list of ingredients, although the red hues contain
Picramicacid Sodiumsalt. Would this be a metallic salt, or something
else?

The mixes, btw, are of a brand called Henné from a company called
Aboca, which possibly may be the source of the pure henna too. Anyone
heard of it before? Seems to be Italian, so I presume they must import
the henna from somewhere else themselves.

Anyway, I contacted them and asked how often they import the pure
henna, and they said that they get new stock four times a year. Does
that suggest a decent freshness for the henna?

Of course, their minimum order would mean having to buy 4 kilos of
henna, which I imagine would go bad before I could use it up even if I
do stick it into the fridge. Or how long does it keep in the fridge?
