The ink of a marker used to be made of toluene and xylene. These substances were found to be quite harmful so now the ink is usually made out of alcohols such as 1-propanol, 1-butanol, diacetone alcohol and cresois.

Marker ink typically consists of a solvent, a colorant, and additives. The solvent helps distribute the ink evenly, the colorant provides the pigment, and additives may enhance features like drying time or resistance to fading. Alcohol-based, water-based, or oil-based inks are commonly used in markers.
