General Product Questions

1. What is color powder made of? Chameleon Colors powder is made from food-grade cornstarch and food-grade FD&C and D&C-approved dyes. It is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and safe for external use.

2. Is Chameleon Colors powder safe for skin and hair? Yes! Our powder is designed to be safe for all skin types and hair. It's commonly used in color runs, festivals, and photoshoots.

3. Is the powder safe to breathe? While the powder is non-toxic, we recommend avoiding direct inhalation, especially for those with respiratory sensitivities. Use in well-ventilated outdoor spaces for safety.

4. Is color powder edible or toxic if ingested accidentally? Although it's made from food-grade ingredients, Chameleon Colors powder is not intended for consumption. Accidental ingestion in small amounts is generally safe, but it's best to avoid it.

5. Are your powders gluten-free and allergen-free? Yes, our powders are gluten-free and do not contain common allergens like nuts or dairy. They are safe for most users with dietary sensitivities.

Cleaning & Staining Concerns

1. Does color powder stain clothes or skin? Our powder is designed to be easy to wash off most fabrics and skin. Wearing white, black, or solid-colored clothing is still recommended, especially for high-coverage events. Brushing the dry powder off before getting it wet is the key to an easier cleanup. 

2. How do I wash color powder out of clothes and hair? Brush or blow as much of the dry powder off as possible. Then use water and a standard detergent for clothing. For hair, rinse thoroughly and shampoo as usual. Bleached, oily, or porous hair may hold onto color slightly longer. We recommend clarifying shampoo for stubborn color in hair. 

3. Will color powder stain concrete or grass? It can temporarily tint concrete, but the color will wash away with a hose, power washer, or a couple of rainstorms. 

4. How should I clean up after a color powder event? Use leaf blowers or brooms to brush or blow away the dry powder. Then use a hose or power washer for outdoor spaces. Clean surfaces soon after your event.

Safety & Environmental Concerns

1. Is Chameleon Colors powder biodegradable? Yes! Our powder is plant-based and biodegradable, making it safe for use in outdoor environments.

2. Is your color powder environmentally friendly? Absolutely. Our powder is made from sustainable, non-toxic ingredients and breaks down naturally without harming the environment.

3. Can color powder be used around kids and pets? Yes, with supervision. The powder is totally safe for young ones and fur babies, but it can be a mess, so avoid throwing it indoors, and adult supervision is always best.

4. Do you have a product SDS for your color powders? Yes! You can view it here.

5. What is the Difference between "Holi Festival Powder" and "Color Chalk Powder?" Color runs deep in the heart of Indian culture. You may have seen colorful Holi celebrations where participants throw colored chalk on one another to celebrate new beginnings in the spring. This is the origin of Holi color powder. (You can read more about Holi Festivals in our blog: How to Throw a Holi Festival at Home.)
   
   In the United States, we have adapted this color powder for other occasions and events like color runs, festivals, school events, photography, and so much more. The powder is the same, but the use and name can vary!

6. What’s the best way to throw or apply color powder at events? Use squeeze bottles, small bags, or cups. For dramatic effects, consider coordinated throws or Extinguisher Blasters.
