At a time when we are mindful about everything we are eating, drinking or wearing, we would be very sceptical about putting anything random on our faces. And when Holi is just a week away, you must have started your search of getting your hands on organic, natural gulaal, that is non-toxic, and leaves no patches or allergies post your Holi party. Here’s a specially-curated list for you to buy these non-toxic Holi colours for you to enjoy the festival of colours safely!
