How to Clean the Participants Following a Colour Festival or Colour Run. This is something we are often asked about by schools or charities looking to host a colour run.
Our colour powder is made using corn flour. The colouring agents we use to colour the colour powder are E-number food additives; the same kind as those used in the European food industry.
These additives are easily rinsed out of fabric – but they are still colouring agents. Therefore, we recommend that visitors do not wear their best outfit to a colour run or Holi festival.
Our colour powders are also easily rinsed out of hair – but the same thing applies. Colouring agents can always leave behind a minor sheen. Blonde hair is a little more susceptible, and previously dyed or bleached hair also absorb colour more easily.
Rain and other sources of water spraying the colour run participants increases the changes that the colours will fixate.
A bandana of some hair oil offers adequate protection.
Colour powder easily rinses off from one’s skin. With just some soap and water, the colours usually disappear following the first wash. But it is not impossible that some colour powder may remain inside wrinkled skin or, for example, under one’s nails
