Description

Bottle of Gentian Violet by Saferly Pick Size

Gentian Violet (crystal violet, Methyl Violet 10B, hexamethyl pararosaniline chloride) is a bactericide and an anti-fungal agent. The primary agent used in the Gram stain test, Gentian Violet is perhaps the single most important bacterial identification test in use today. It is also used by hospitals for the treatment of serious heat burns and other injuries to the skin and gums.

Typically prepared as a weak (e.g. 1%) solution in water, it is painted on skin or gums to treat or prevent fungal infections. Gentian Violet does not require a doctor's prescription (in the US), but is not easily found in drug stores.

In body piercing, Gentian Violet is commonly used to mark the location for placing piercings, including surface piercings.

Attention: Shipping and Usage of Gentian Violet is limited in Canada.

It works perfectly

"No complain about this product, is what i needed instead of using disposable markers"

Leticia A. (5/5)

Perfect

"Exactly what I needed. Hard to find item w/no alcohol. I guess potential liability is the reason for no directions."

Katherine Z. (5/5)

Not quite as I expected.

"The product is totally fine, but the container leaves a lot to be desired. The cap pulls up to open, then is used as one would use a dropper before depressing the valve back down to it's closed position. Sounds simple in theory. In practice it's a huge mess; especially when closing it. If I'm not super ginger with it (using caution to stop it's quick popping into position) I will inevitably spend the next 5 minutes cleaning the Violet that goes flying every direction. And no matter how careful you are it will certainly be all over the top. You'll have to address this immediately, or pay later when you discover that a little Violet goes a long way. Never is it so plentiful as when you've missed a splatter and realize it only after half your shop is purple! I recommend buying a glass bottle with a glass dropper, it only costs $3 and will save you my misery."
