Description

Alkali blue is a triarylmethane dye that is used in paints, textiles, and cosmetics. It has the appearance of a violet powder and is soluble in water. Alkali blue is not toxic to humans and can be found in many products that are considered safe for human consumption. However, alkali blue can cause environmental damage if it enters waterways or soil. If alkali blue enters the body via inhalation or ingestion, it may cause adverse health effects such as irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, throat, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal tract. Exposure to alkali blue may also cause skin sensitization in some individuals.
