摘　　要：Gardenia pigments are widely used as additives in food and consequently people suffer from daily overexposure to these pigments,especially in case they consume dietary supplements that use derivatives of Gardenia jasminoides.We have observed a very unusual adverse reaction clinically,due to herbal and dietary supplement consumption,characterized by bluegreen pigmentation around the eyes(i.e.a distinctive"gardenia blue"facial appearance).
