Hoil is here! A day for coloured faces and water pistols and laughter and rain parties and extended brunches with piping hot gujias and chilled Thandai – in all a day of superlative fun and games with family and, friends.
Traditionally, Holi also marks the celebration of nature welcoming Spring with a riot of colourful flowers after the cold foggy winter.
It’s no wonder Holi was historically played with Gulal made from natural flowers and herbs – hence the term ‘phoolon ki Holi.
But the advent of artificial colours relegated these beautiful traditions to the background.
Made with synthetic ingredients including toxic substances like acid, glass powder, industrial dye, lead oxide, mercury sulphite, copper sulphate, and lead oxide, these artificial colours can cause skin itching, rashes, eye irritation, and hair damage.
Not to mention the gross harm to the environment as these toxic colours make their way to our soil and groundwater.
It’s time we return to the all-natural way of playing Holi to choose better and safer for ourselves and Mother Earth.
Over the years Organic India has taken the mantle of introducing organic, safe, and healthy products that serve both you and Mother Earth.
