I have bought, and used Sadaf brand Henna, red. I bought black, but
have not used it yet and plan to test it for PPD. Back to the red,
myself and my best friend used henna paste mixture of a few drops of
Eucalyptus EO and lemon juice and sifted Sadaf Red Henna powder, it
made a pretty good red/orange stain. We were satisfied since we were
doing Henna on my 13 year old Step Daughter,and ourselves and it
worked fine. No allergic reaction, the only thing needed is a good
sifting, you only lose about 1/3 of the product with a double
stocking sift.

The concerns for freshness are valid, as the henna is in a clear
plastic baggie, and who knows how long it's been sitting there? It
is a cheaper alternative and worked well for what we were doing.
Sifting it made it work better with a mylar cone and regardless of
the freshness, it still stained red-orange. I hope this helps!
Blessings, Mina
