Aloe vera extract, certified organic
Gentle, soothing and hydrating. This is a 200:1 powdered aloe vera extract, it is highly concentrated so a tiny amount makes a lot of aloe juice.
What “200:1” means
0.5% powder in water ≈ 100% aloe vera juice (by equivalency).
- Example: 0.5 g powder + 99.5 g water → 100 g aloe juice
- Example: 5 g powder + 995 g water → 1,000 g (1 L) aloe juice
Use the reconstituted aloe juice just like regular aloe juice: in gels, spritzers, creams/lotions, after-sun products, hair care and more.
How to use
To make aloe vera juice
- Add the measured powder to room-temperature water (distilled or deionised).
- Whisk or stick-blend until dissolved; leave 10–15 minutes to fully hydrate.
- Use immediately, or preserve if storing (see “Storage & preservation”).
In formulations
-
Water phase (heated): add aloe juice to the water phase after you remove from heat (≤50 °C) or at cool-down to protect delicate components.
-
Cold process: simply stir the aloe juice in at room temperature.
-
Use level: aloe juice can replace some or all of the water in a formula (up to 100% of your water phase if you wish).
-
Adding powder directly: you can add the powder straight into the water phase. As a guide, 0.25% powder ≈ 50% aloe juice, 0.1% powder ≈ 20% aloe juice, etc.
Formulating tip
Aloe contains electrolytes which can thin some carbomer gels. If your gel softens, switch to a more electrolyte-tolerant gelling agent (e.g., xanthan) or adjust your polymer system.
Storage & preservation
-
Powder: keep tightly closed, cool, dry, away from light.
-
Reconstituted juice: treat like fresh aloe juice — preserve with your usual broad-spectrum system (e.g., Geogard 221 as directed) or refrigerate and use promptly. Unpreserved juice is for immediate/short-term use only.
