Aloe Vera

What is it?

Aloe barbadensis is a succulent grown in warm climates. The gel inside the leaf is filleted out and processed into an extract or juice.

It is water-rich, which is why it is usually found in the water phase of a cream or lotion.

Why we use it

Aloe leaf extract is a long-established ingredient in facial and body formulations.

It blends readily into creams and lotions without changing their texture significantly.

Where it is found

On ingredient lists, look for Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract or Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.
