Aloe vera leaf juice
Aloe Vera
INCI: ALOE VERA LEAF JUICE POWDER
Aloe vera juice helps reduce skin conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis and reduces the frequency and appearance of acne.
Aloe vera is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins.
The essential compounds in aloe vera neutralize the effects of ultraviolet radiation, repair the skin from existing UV damage, and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Aloe Vera 200X Powder, which we use in all our products, is carefully processed from the inner fillet of the aloe leaf. A rigorous process is used to minimize disruption of the Aloin layer.
Below the outer skin of the aloe vera leaves is a layer of yellow juice, also known as the plant's latex, which contains a natural chemical called aloin. Aloin is an anthraquinone glycoside, which is known to cause skin irritation if you have an allergy to latex, and can cause contact dermatitis with a localized rash.
After processing to remove pulp and fiber, the aloe gel is pasteurized and concentrated using low-temperature evaporation. The gel is then freeze-dried to create a product which is free from additives and preservatives. The freeze-drying process prevents the breakdown of the long chain polysaccharides that are found in the fresh leaf, making this an exceptionally safe and efficient product.
