FAQ
Safety Information
Is your Holi colour powder safe?
What should I do if the colour powder is ingested?
While all of our ingredients are natural and edible, the product is not intended for consumption. If you do ingest a small amount, do not be concerned, simply drink plenty of water.
What if colour powder gets in someone’s eyes?
Safety is our number one priority, so we do not use any harmful ingredients in our colour powder. If you get a small amount in your eyes, simply flush with water. Suggesting that participants wear sunglasses or providing them at your event is also great way to keep eyes safe.
What about inhaling the colour powder?
Our colour powder is very fine and dust will be in the air when using large amounts at events. Inhaling a small amount of colour powder dust is not harmful. Dust masks or bandanas can be used to help protect against dust inhalation. Those with respiratory issues should take precautions as they would around any other dust.

Cleaning & Usage
How do I clean your Holi colour powder off my skin and hair?
Cleaning off your skin and hair is similar to dusting off dry dirt. Most of it can be removed by shaking and dusting yourself off. The remaining will go away with a bath or shower. If water is added to an event, the combination of water and colour powder may cause staining to skin and hair.
Please take extra care with chemically treated hair that may be prone to absorbing colour by wearing a shower cap and dusting off while dry prior to washing with water.
How can I clean your Holi colour powder off my clothes and materials?
Most clothing can be washed as normal without staining. If staining occurs on white clothing, it can be cleaned with a laundry whitener.
Porous surfaces such as leather, vinyl, suede, or foam products can be the most difficult to clean. Please do not wear valuable clothes or shoes to colour run events.
How do I clean the colour powder from the ground and environment?
Cleaning from sidewalks, parking lots, grass fields, and most other outdoor surfaces is very easy. If left alone, it will go away from exposure to the natural elements in a week or so.
For immediate cleanup, disperse into the air with a leaf blower, and then hose down any remaining colour powder from there.
Please use caution around expensive turf or track surfaces as they can be vulnerable to staining. Testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended.
Can your Holi colour powder be used outdoors?
Absolutely! Our Holi colour powder is perfect for outdoor events like fun runs, festivals, and fundraisers. Just keep them dry for the best results.
Can your colour powder be used for corporate events?
Yes! Our products are versatile and work wonderfully for corporate team-building events or celebrations.
Sunglass Protection
Are the rainbow sunglasses compliant to Australian standards?
You bet! Our sunglasses are UV400 rated, fully approved by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
