Holi Colors: Identify Chemical-Mixed 'Herbal' Gulal to Protect Skin and Eyes

• Chemical colors with 'herbal' labels are widely sold, posing risks to skin, hair, and eyes.
• Identify fake herbal gulal by checking for excessive shine, glittery particles, and strong chemical smells.
• Genuine herbal gulal is light, matte, soft, and has a mild or no fragrance.
• Perform a water test: good color dissolves easily; chemical color floats or settles.
• Look for '100% Natural,' 'Organic,' or 'Eco-friendly' labels and natural ingredients like turmeric or flower extracts.
