What It Does
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder is a spray-dried concentrate of fresh aloe vera inner leaf gel, with this 200:1 concentration meaning 200 kg of fresh juice yields 1 kg of powder. This highly concentrated form offers formulators exceptional convenience in storage and shipping while preserving the polysaccharides (particularly acemannan), glycoproteins, and amino acids that give aloe its renowned soothing and hydrating properties. The powder format allows for precise dosing and extended shelf life compared to liquid aloe, making it ideal for anhydrous formulations, dry masks, and products where water content must be carefully controlled.

Ingredient Compatibility
Known Interactions
DHA undergoes Maillard browning with free amino acids on skin to produce melanoidins (the tan). Free amino acids IN THE FORMULA (aloe vera juice, hydrolyzed proteins, peptide complexes, amino acid blends) react with DHA pre-application, degrading the active and accelerating off-smell development over shelf life. Remove the amino-acid source, switch to glycerin/propanediol/sodium PCA for hydration, or use encapsulated DHA if the amino-acid ingredient is brand-critical.
