Use
Dissolve in water to make stock solution that is adequate for adding to formulas. Due to high concentration (200x) it can also be added directly to formulations at very low dose. The addition of 1% of Aloe Vera powder (= 1g or less than 1/4 tsp) to a product gives the same concentration of Aloe Vera as pure Aloe juice squeezed from a fresh Aloe Vera plant. Typical use level is 1-3%. Powder has also a longer shelf life than liquid aloe vera. For external use only.
Applications
All skin care products, soothing creams & lotions, sun care & after-sun products, shampoos & conditioners. Aloe vera in powder form is especially convenient when making large batches.
