Layman's explanation:	Phenolphthalein was first made in 1880. The compound is a good pH indicator because it turns red in a solution with a pH above 8. Phenolphthalein can also be used as a laxative. When used for therapeutic purposes it can cause hypersensitivity. Phenolphthalein also colors urine and other bodily excretions a pink or red color when it is present in the body.
