INCI Name
Aloe barbadensis, Sodium benzoate, Potassium sorbate.
What is it?
Our whole leaf aloe vera concentrate is an extract from the aloe barbadensis miller plant grown in Mexico. It is obtained by cleaning the leaves by mechanical means and then removing the spines and chopping the leaf into sections prior to being pulped. A patented process involving flash pasteurisation and stabilising ensures that the inherent properties of the finished product retains the life of the original aloe plant leaf. During this process the toxin aloin is removed to safe levels so that the product can also be used for drinking purposes.
Our whole leaf aloe vera concentrate is cold pressed and has organic approval from USA and grown in Mexico. It has also passed the inspection of the International Aloe Science Council.

Water-soluble.
Can I add it to oil serums or ready-made products?
You cannot add it to oil serums or oil blends as it will separate. You can also add the aloe vera concentrate (10% dosage) directly to your creams, lotions, gels, etc.
Recommended dosage and how to use in products
This is a 1:9 liquid concentrate. 100ml of the concentrate added to 900ml of water and other ingredients makes 1 litre of aloe vera gel juice, then mixed together with 1-1.5% of xanthan gum makes a gel.
The optimal dosage is 10% in creams, lotions, peelers and cleansers.
