Artificial dyes are synthetic colorants created through chemical processes. They are commonly used in various industries, including textiles, food, and cosmetics, to provide vibrant colors that are often more consistent and longer-lasting than natural dyes. These dyes can be produced in a wide range of shades and are typically more affordable than their natural counterparts. The use of artificial dyes has raised health and environmental concerns. Some dyes may cause allergic reactions or other health issues in sensitive individuals. Additionally, the production and disposal of synthetic dyes can lead to pollution, prompting ongoing research into safer alternatives and more sustainable practices in the dyeing industry.
