Holi, the festival of colors, is a time of joy and togetherness and the arrival of spring. But the celebration has evolved from natural and sustainable practices to using synthetic colors and materials, and it’s not just the environment that’s affected, but personal health too. Fortunately, there is a growing movement to go back to traditional methods, and using natural Holi colors is leading the charge.
Why Choose Natural Holi Colors?
Natural Holi colors, like the Holi Gulaal Set, are made from plant-based ingredients, flowers, and organic materials, making them eco-friendly and safe.
