Abstract: A softgel capsule is provided including a fill material and a shell composition The shell composition includes a marking formulation including a marking component. The marking component includes a metal oxide. Laser irradiation may be applied to the softgel capsule at a wavelength of about 200 nm to about 400 nm, causing the marking component to change color. A method of marking and marking formulation is also provided.
