Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera)

A concentrated, decolorized inner-leaf aloe powder (200×) valued as a gentle humectant and skin-soother. Rich in polysaccharides (notably acemannan) and trace vitamins/minerals, it supports hydrated, comfortable skin across most product types. Select suppliers that control anthraquinones (aloin) and provide documentation on purity and polysaccharide content for consistent, cosmetic-grade performance.
