What It Does
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is the mucilaginous gel extracted from the inner leaf parenchyma of the aloe vera plant, containing over 75 active compounds including polysaccharides (particularly acemannan), glycoproteins, vitamins, and amino acids. As a 200:1 concentrate, this ingredient delivers highly concentrated bioactive components that provide exceptional water-binding capacity and form a protective film on skin while delivering soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits. Formulators favor this concentrated form for its space efficiency in formulations and its ability to deliver therapeutic levels of aloe's characteristic polysaccharides without excessive water content.
