Indigo, the captivating blue dye, boasts a history as rich and deep as its color. For millennia, it was the world's most prized blue pigment, extracted from plants like Indigofera tinctoria and used by civilizations from ancient Egypt and India to Japan and West Africa. Its unique ability to 'magically' appear upon exposure to air, transforming fabrics with profound blue hues, cemented its status as a vital global commodity. Today, while much of the indigo produced is synthetic, its molecular structure remains identical to its natural counterpart, continuing a legacy of vibrant coloration.


The shift from natural extraction to synthetic production in the late 19th century revolutionized the industry, making Indigo Blue more accessible and consistent for mass production. This transition allowed for the widespread adoption of indigo dye for cotton fabrics, particularly in the burgeoning denim industry. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. proudly carries forward this tradition, supplying high-purity Indigo Blue (Vat Blue 1) that is molecularly identical to the historically significant dye.


Despite its industrial scale, the allure of indigo's historical applications persists. Its use was not limited to textiles; it found its way into art, medicine, and even ancient religious ceremonies.
