Reddish dye (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

henna

'reddish dye' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for henna that I've seen before include "Beauty aid" , "Hair/skin dye" , "Pigment used on skin" , "Reddish-brown hair-dye" , "(Shrub producing) reddish dyestuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
