I would think that the easiest way to know what's in all of your products would be to check the ingredients list. There's a common misconception that chemicals are harmful, but everything is made up of chemicals and chemical compounds. I suggest doing some research to see what chemicals may actually be harmful to you. As for the colors, I'm afraid I don't know, but that would be an interesting method of categorizing :)

Neither of the toothpastes I have have that at all lol.
And I have a packaged "tear-gel" for dry eyes, and it has a green one. But it's artificial tears, and made of chemicals.
So I'm sure some companies may use that, but clearly not all of them.

It's just a hoax. I checked on snopes.com and all those colors are for are so the machines laser scanners know where to make the cuts when manufacturing. They're called eye marks.
