Earth Day’s significance is found in its ability to unite communities, organizations, and quite literally the world in a common goal: to address environmental challenges and work towards a healthier, more sustainable planet.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated every April 22nd to raise awareness about protecting the environment and promoting sustainability efforts. It was first observed in 1970 in the United States and has since grown into a global movement, with millions of people in over 190 countries participating.
Color Powder Supply Co. provides color powder for color runs, festivals, schools, and celebrations. Our powder is corn starch based, and we believe the best celebrations are joyful, colorful, and mindful of the places they’re held.
Traditional Holi powders, known as “gulal,” were made from flowers, herbs, and spices. Turmeric gave yellow, henna gave green, and red sandalwood gave red.
As demand grew for brighter and more varied colors, many modern powders moved to manufactured colorants, and quality varies a lot from one product to the next. That’s why it’s worth knowing what’s in the powder you use and asking to see test results.
Most event powders today are built on a base of cornstarch or similar starch. Corn starch based powder breaks down naturally on soil and grass. Whatever you choose, look for a supplier who will tell you exactly what’s in it and show you the testing.
Simple ingredients: 98% food-grade corn starch and 2% FDA-certified color additives. Not intended for consumption.
Independently tested: SGS, a third-party lab, found no detectable heavy metals, lead, or phthalates. A separate acute oral toxicity study places our powder in GHS Category 5 (Unclassified), the lowest hazard band.
Corn starch based: it breaks down naturally on soil and grass.
Vibrant colors: your celebrations deserve to be as vivid as your memories. Our powder comes in a wide range of bright colors.
Easy to clean up: it washes off skin and out of most fabrics with soap and water. Color can temporarily persist on bleached or light-colored hair and on porous surfaces.
Made for outdoor use. Like any fine powder, keep it away from open flame and out of enclosed spaces.
We keep our ingredient list short, and our testing summary and full lab reports are available on request. We also encourage bulk purchases, since fewer, larger packages mean less packaging per pound of powder.
This Earth Day, make your celebrations stand out with eco-friendly color powder from Color Powder Supply Co. Here are some creative ideas to incorporate our vibrant, color powders into your Earth Day festivities:
.
What are the ingredients in your color powder? This tells you what’s in the powder and whether the colorants are FDA-certified.
How do you source your products? Sourcing practices give you insight into a supplier’s quality and reliability.
Can I see your test reports? Third-party results show what’s actually been checked.
How should the color powder be disposed of after use? Proper disposal instructions help minimize environmental impact.
Choosing event supplies thoughtfully has an impact beyond a single celebration. When customers ask suppliers what’s in their products and how they’re tested, it encourages the whole industry to be more transparent. It also sets a good example for others in your community.
As Earth Day approaches, Color Powder Supply Co. invites everyone to celebrate in a vibrant way, with powder you know the ingredients of. We’d love to see how you’re celebrating! Share your photos and stories on social media.
