Nat Habitat is known for their sustainable, eco-friendly and clean products, so there was no surprise when we spotted organic Holi colours on their website. We'd opt for their combo of four, which has the colours red, yellow, green and orange. All their gulaal is made up of neem leaves, henna leaves, amaranth flowers, rose petals, beetroot, marigold flowers, wild turmeric and corn starch, making them free from toxics, 100% natural and chemical free. What we love most about them is that they clearly state that their colours are super safe for kids to use too!
TWF Flours is known to offer natural holi colour in combo packs that are affordable. We love that they are made using regular kitchen ingredients, such as wheat, corn, turmeric, saffron, spinach, rose, beetroot, cranberry and the likes, making them chemical-free and eco-friendly.
Phool is known to use temple flowers and nirmalya from Ganges to make its products. Buy the Phool-certified organic Gulaal box that contains four natural handmade colours, which contain rich flowers, essential oils, rice flour and have a fine texture. The colours are easily washable, cruelty-free, vegan, non-abrasive and don't leave any stains. Plus they are certified by Industrial Research and Toxicology (IIRT).
Antarkranti offers handmade herbal gulaal that is safe for your skin and also eco-friendly. These are made up of edible-grade maize starch, food colours, flower petals and other edible ingredients. They come an eco-friendly packaging making them great for gifting as well! Also, they're made by prisoners, so you're actually providing livelihood and rehabilitation opportunities to them, which we think is pretty great!
Organic India does a bunch of herbal Holi colours that are 100% organic, skin-friendly and have a beautiful scent too. These come in yellow, red, pink and green with natural bases like arrowroot powder, turmeric, cornstarch powder, red rose powder and spinach leaf powder, making them super safe for your skin.
Ahaeli does a combination of four 100 g organic holi colours—red, yellow, green and blue, that are non-toxic and made with natural ingredients like kukum, arrowroot powder, beetroot and indigo flowers. These colours also require 50% less water to wash off, so it's really a win-win situation.
