Natural Gardenia Blue Pigment is a rare clean-label natural water-soluble colorant manufactured from mature dried fruits of Gardenia Jasminoides Ellis. The production adopts water extraction of geniposide, bio-enzymatic conversion, macroporous resin purification and spray-drying process.
Genipin-amino acid polymer, with trace crocin polyphenols for mild antioxidant performance. Natural Gardenia Blue Pigment appears uniform dark blue fine powder, fully soluble in pure water, dilute ethanol and propylene glycol, insoluble in grease and anhydrous organic solvents.
Natural Gardenia Blue Pigment can blend perfectly with Gardenia Yellow Pigment to produce full-spectrum natural green series.

It is a natural water-soluble colorant derived from the mature dried fruits of Gardenia Jasminoides Ellis. The refinement process utilizes water extraction of geniposide, followed by bio-enzymatic conversion, purification, and spray-drying.
Unlike many other natural colorants, Gardenia Blue is highly stable. Its color tone remains virtually unaffected by changes in environmental pH values, making it highly versatile for acidic and basic products.
Yes. It blends perfectly with Gardenia Yellow Pigment to create a broad, vibrant spectrum of natural green shades.
It is completely soluble in water, dilute ethanol, and propylene glycol. However, it is insoluble in oils, grease, and anhydrous organic solvents.
Yes, the pigment offers excellent resistance to both light and heat. It can also withstand environmental stresses from strong oxidants, reducing agents, and metal ions.
It has a shelf life of 24 months. It should be kept in its original sealed packaging, protected from light, and stored at optimal temperatures between 10℃ and 25℃.
