Hi All,
My mommy group asked a question I couldn't answer: Where does Gentian
Violet come from and what is it made out of?
Now, I went to wikipedia and became so confused with all the technical
information that really the best I got was that it is a dye and is not made
from the gentian plant.
My moms have heard it s a petroleum derivative as well as it comes from coal
tar.
Does anyone have info for us that we can actually understand? :-)
Thanks!
