    TLDR The new natural sindoor is safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly.
    The document discussed the development of a natural dye-based sindoor as a safer alternative to synthetic dye-based sindoors, which were associated with adverse effects such as hair loss, graying, edema, erythema, and skin cancer. The new sindoor used pharmaceutical/food grade natural ingredients without heavy metal salts, offering various shades like orange, red, dark red, and mehroon. Double Blind Clinical testing indicated that the red and mehroon colored herbal sindoor was safe for skin application, while the orange variant was suitable for worship, providing a non-toxic, eco-friendly option to replace synthetic sindoor.
