properties:

Aloe Vera is a low-maintenance plant composed of three main parts: the hardy green leaf, and the gel and juice held within the leaf. Aloe Vera gel is the most commonly known component of Aloe Vera because it offers so many healing properties. Aloe Vera powder is obtained when the gel is rinsed to remove remnants of the juice, dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder.

Aloe Vera is well known for its vast beneficial properties and has been used for treating skin for thousands of years! Cleopatra knew what she was doing, as Aloe Vera is an excellent skin-soothing and moisturising ingredient. In fact, Aloe Vera is composed of active components like vitamins, minerals and amino acids which have been found to boost healing, collagen production, and hyaluronic acid production in the skin, improving it’s look and feel and encouraging regeneration of skin tissue. Aloe Vera’s anti-septic and anti-inflammatory qualities can help to alleviate skin ailments like psoriasis, itchy rashes, sunburn, and dryness. Incorporated into lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and even makeup, this makes Aloe Vera powder a powerful ingredient to add to cosmetic formulations.

applications:

Heals, soothes and protects the skin from damaging conditions
Treats many skin problems, including blemishes, wrinkles, itching, sunburn, small skin wounds, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites, frost bites, and more.
When Aloe Vera powder is dissolved into water, it creates a solution that can be easily added to cosmetic formulas, but the concentrated nature of the powder makes it possible to add directly into formulations at very low doses. A mere 1 percent addition of Aloe Vera powder to a product, which equates to about 1 gram, creates the same potency as pure aloe juice squeezed from a fresh plant.
Since aloe powder has a considerably longer shelf life than Aloe Vera gel, it is easier to maintain.
200x concentrate - can be reconstituted with water in a ratio of 1:200. ie 0.5g of Aloe Vera Powder to 99.5g of Water (0.5% to 99.5%). Note: It will completely dissolve but will not form a gel. When the powder is formed it breaks up the complex of the Aloe and it can no longer form a gel. This does not impact the performance of Aloe, minerals & moisturising properties remain intact and lasts much better this way.
