Other names: Gardenia Jasminoides Extract, Gardenia Green Natural Dye
Recommended uses: Food coloring, cosmetic pigment, textile coloring, art supplies
Supplier contact: Manufacturer or distributor information must be referenced from packaging or invoice
Emergency contact number: Refer to supplier’s emergency line found on product label

Hazard Identification

Classification: Non-hazardous under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200)
Signal word: None
Hazard statements: May cause mild skin or eye irritation on prolonged contact
Precautionary statements: Avoid contact with skin and eyes; prevent dust generation
Acute health hazards: Mild irritation of eyes, mild skin sensitivity possible
Chronic health hazards: No data supporting chronic toxicity, no evidence of carcinogenicity in studies available

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main constituent: Gardenia green pigment derived from Gardenia jasminoides fruit
Chemical family: Natural dye (Iridoid glycosides, Crocin derivatives)
CAS number: 94238-00-3
Impurities/Additives: May contain inert carriers such as maltodextrin (1-10%), moisture (<12%)

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek attention if symptoms like coughing persist
Skin contact: Rinse exposed skin with water and mild soap; discontinue use if irritation appears
Eye contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water; seek medical care for discomfort, especially in large amounts

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Special hazards: Pigment combustion forms carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds
Protective equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear
Specific methods: Remove undamaged containers from fire area if safe to do so
Combustibility: Pigment in bulk powder may pose dust explosion risk if airborne and ignited

Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions: Wear gloves and safety goggles to prevent contact with eyes and skin
Environmental precautions: Prevent bulk pigment from washing into drains or natural waterways
Cleanup methods: Use vacuum or wet-sweeping to collect spilled powder; avoid generating airborne dust
Disposal: Place material in designated waste container for appropriate disposal

Handling and Storage

Handling practices: Handle with clean, dry tools in ventilated place to reduce dust
Hygienic practices: Wash hands after use; avoid eating, drinking or smoking during handling
Storage requirements: Store in original, sealed container, in cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
Incompatibles: Strong acids, oxidizing agents may degrade pigment and alter color

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure limits: No known exposure limits for naturally-derived pigment under OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH or EU standards
Respiratory protection: NIOSH-approved dust mask recommended during extended use of pigment powder
Skin protection: Gloves recommended for sensitive users or long-term exposure
Eye protection: Safety or splash goggles if splashes or airborne dust likely
General ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to reduce airborne pigment in working areas

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Fine green powder
Odor: Mild, earthy
pH (1% solution): 6.0 - 8.0
Melting point: Decomposes above 190°C
Solubility: Dispersible in water, limited solubility in ethanol
Boiling Point: Not applicable (solid pigment)
Flash Point: Non-flammable as supplied
Density: 0.4 – 0.6 g/cm3 (bulk)
Partition coefficient n-octanol/water: Not available

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: Unlikely to react with most substances used in intended applications
Conditions to avoid: Elevated humidity, strong heat, direct sunlight, contact with strong acids or oxidants
Decomposition products: Thermal decomposition forms common combustion byproducts—CO2, CO, and volatile organics

Toxicological Information

Acute toxicity: No evidence of acute toxicity in rat/mouse studies at practical exposure levels
Skin irritation: May cause mild temporary irritation, particularly for those with sensitivities
Eye irritation: Short-term exposure may cause transient discomfort
Chronic effects: Long-term use in food and topical products considered safe; no evidence of carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive adverse effects in available studies

Ecological Information

Environmental fate: Naturally biodegradable, breaks down under typical environmental conditions
Aquatic toxicity: No notable toxicity to aquatic life, avoid direct discharge of concentrated pigment to waterways
Persistence and degradability: Pigment degrades into natural components over time
Bioaccumulation: Not bioaccumulative
Mobility in soil: Limited mobility, binds to soil particles

Disposal Considerations

Waste methods: Dispose of pigment as non-hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations
Container disposal: Empty containers should be rinsed thoroughly and recycled or disposed of as regular waste
Do not incinerate bulk pigment or containers containing residues, as this may release undesirable gases

Transport Information

UN number: Not regulated as dangerous goods
UN proper shipping name: Not classified as hazardous for transport
Transport hazard class: No applicable classification
Packing group: Not regulated
Special precautions: Keep containers sealed, protect from moisture during transport; avoid stacking that could lead to crushing of packaging

Regulatory Information

Regulatory status: FDA-approved as a food color additive, EU-listed as safe for use in cosmetics and food
Labeling requirements: Must list common name and batch number on retail and bulk packaging
Chemicals Inventory: Listed in TSCA (US), EINECS (Europe), AICS (Australia), and similar databases
Other regulations: No restrictions under US, EU, or Canadian hazardous substances lists for routine applications in dyeing, cosmetics, and food industries
