About

Herbal Gulal Online in India — Natural Holi Colours Conventional Holi gulal is usually a mix of synthetic dyes and an inert filler, and the filler is often silica or industrial powder. Herbal gulal replaces both: plant and mineral colourants on a base of arrowroot, corn starch or rice flour. It rinses out in one or two washes instead of staining skin and hair for a week. What to check on the pack The base. Arrowroot, corn starch, rice flour or maize starch are the good ones. If the base is not named, assume it is silica-based filler. The colourant. Turmeric and marigold for yellow, beetroot and hibiscus for pink, indigo for blue, spinach or neem for green, sandalwood for ochre. Named plant sources are a better signal than the words "herbal" or "organic" on the front. Fragrance. Ask whether the scent is from essential oils or a synthetic fragrance compound, particularly if anyone playing has sensitive skin. Texture. Genuine plant gulal is slightly coarser and less intensely pigmented than synthetic powder. That is normal. Patch test on the inner forearm the day before, and oil skin and hair before playing — it makes any colour come off far more easily.
