Methylene Blue Water-Soluble Dye 10 g

Methylene Blue water soluble colorant for aqueous cosmetic and formulation systems

Methylene Blue is a synthetic water soluble colorant widely used in aqueous formulations. The raw material appears as a crystalline powder with deep blue coloration. When dissolved in water it forms transparent solutions with intense blue or blue green shade depending on concentration. See additional shades listed under Liquid Water-Soluble Dyes.

The ingredient dissolves easily in water and water glycol systems which allows convenient incorporation into the aqueous phase of cosmetic formulations. The colorant distributes evenly in solutions, gels and emulsions providing stable coloration of finished products.

Powder format ensures convenient storage and precise dosing during formulation development and industrial production. Methylene Blue is used in various formulation systems where stable water soluble color is required.

Properties and appearance in formulations

Within cosmetic formulations the colorant disperses rapidly in the aqueous phase and produces uniform coloration. Products obtain clear blue or deep blue appearance depending on the concentration of the solution.

Finished formulations maintain homogeneous texture and stable color intensity without affecting the rheology of gels or emulsions.

Industry applications

Methylene Blue is used in cosmetic products, aqueous serums, gel systems, liquid cosmetic solutions and decorative formulations where blue coloration is required. Blend the blue shade with Yellow Food Color 10 ml to adjust tones. Wholesale options appear in the Liquid Migrating Dyes Wholesale section.

The ingredient is also used in laboratory solutions and formulation systems requiring stable water soluble color. High solubility makes the material suitable for scalable manufacturing processes.

Formula example

Methylene Blue 1 g
Purified water 480 ml
Glycerin 70 g
Propanediol 40 g
Xanthan gum 5 g
Cucumber extract 30 g
Allantoin 6 g

Xanthan gum is dispersed in purified water until a gel base forms. Glycerin and propanediol are then incorporated with mixing until uniform distribution is achieved. Methylene Blue is dissolved in a small amount of warm water to prepare a concentrated solution and introduced into the gel base while mixing. After even color distribution cucumber extract and allantoin are added and the mixture is stirred until homogeneous texture forms. The pH is adjusted to obtain stable gel formulation.

Methylene Blue is widely used in professional formulation development and industrial manufacturing where stable water soluble colorants support reproducible and scalable production.
