Historical  connection 

Long before synthetic colours filled the market, people used to celebrate Holi using natural colours that were made at home. These colours were created from flowers, leaves, and herbs found around them. 

  • Red came from crushed hibiscus petals or rose petals. These stood for love and energy. 

  • Yellow came from turmeric or marigold, symbolising sunshine and prosperity.

  • Green was made with green neem leaves or henna, it was a sign of a new beginning.

  • Blue was taken from the Indigo plant and was believed to protect against negativity.

  • Even black, although it’s rare, was made using burnt charcoal or lamp soot. 

These natural colours were not just skin safe but they had healing properties also. This deep connection with nature made holi a celebration of both joy and wellness. Today, as awareness grows , many people are returning to these traditional, eco-friendly ways of playing Holi

Celebrating safely in a modern modern world

Holi can also bring some challenges if you’re not careful. Here are some simple tips to enjoy holi safely:

Choose organic colours

Go for natural, plant based colours like the ones in the Cycle Pure Holi Celebration Pack. These colours are not only gentle on your skin but also safe for the environment. The pack includes red, pink, green, and orange gulaal.

Protect  your eyes

Wearing sunglasses while playing holi is a smart and stylish way to protect your eyes from the splashes and dust.

Moisturize your skin

Apply coconut oil or any moisturizer before you step out. It creates a protective layer and makes it easier to wash off the colours later. 

Hydrate and stay cool

Holi often involves being out in the sun for hours. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated throughout the day to avoid fatigue or dehydration.

Be mindful of others

Not everyone may be comfortable with colours. Always ask before applying colour and avoid throwing colours forcefully at others, especially strangers or elders.
