As a parent who doesn’t want the best for their kids? Especially for their newborns and toddlers, who are sensitive to various stuff, you have to be careful about what you are selecting for them. From the day they are born, it is like your 24/7 job to give your all and provide suitable products for babies. While buying toys, clothes, etc. you are comprehensive about what you are selecting for them. But while choosing baby care products, do you do that, or you just pick anything randomly out of the shelf after seeing it’s an advertisement on TV without checking any ingredients that are used in it while manufacturing them.
A common problem faced by every Indian parent
A couple named Ghazal Alagh and Varun Alagh when they were about to become parents: they were trying their best to make sure that they don’t miss anything. They wanted to provide the baby with necessities and create a comfortable environment for their baby. Now only loving your little one is not enough. The baby needs adequate care. That’s where Ghazal and Varun started to face trouble. They started their research on the internet, what they should be doing, and what they needed to avoid? Also, what type of baby care product they should be using for their baby.

But they were in for a big surprise, and to say they were stunned after seeing the outcomes wouldn’t be wrong. They were not able to find one single baby care product in the Indian market, which will be safe for the baby. Every baby care product involved some sort of dangerous chemical in the making. This not only made them disheartened but anxious about their friends who are parents and got young kids at home. Because no matter how hard these parents tried to give the best for their kids, they came up empty-handed.
Getting tired of buying expensive products and finding a solution
To avoid using harmful products on their babies, Varun and Ghazal decided to order baby products from the foreign countries who were selling toxic-free products. Soon, they got tired of it as well because getting these products from America was proving to be really expensive. That’s when both parents concluded that this was enough, and they needed to find a solution for once and all.
