Traditionally colours from nature were used for Holi. These
coloured powders used for playing were made from natural extracts of flowers,
roots and herbs that were good for skin. With the advent of synthetic dyes, the
Natural Dyes have disappeared and fully
replaced by synthetic ones.
Chemical colors are popular because they are conveniently available and cost
less than natural colors. However, manufacturers mix harmful chemicals in
colors, putting the consumers' health at risk – like skin rashes, asthma,
brochial problems.
