Aloe Vera Extract

$210.00

Aloe Vera Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the succulent leaves of the Aloe barbadensis Miller plant. It is processed by extracting the clear inner gel or by spray-drying the leaf juice into a concentrated powder. Rich in polysaccharides (such as acemannan), vitamins, and minerals, it is highly valued for its hydrating, cooling, and regenerative properties in various industrial formulations.

Storage Recommendations

  • Temperature: Store in a cool, dry location, ideally between 15°C and 25°C. Liquid extracts are particularly sensitive to heat, which can lead to the degradation of active polysaccharides.

  • Packaging: Keep in airtight, light-resistant containers (such as HDPE or amber glass) to prevent oxidation and microbial contamination.

  • Shelf Life: Powdered concentrates are stable for 2 years, while liquid forms typically have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months when stored under proper conditions.

Safety Note: Aloe Vera Extract is non-toxic and widely considered safe for both topical and oral applications. In an industrial setting, concentrated powder can be fine and dusty; it is recommended to wear a dust mask and safety goggles to avoid respiratory or eye irritation during bulk handling.
