Aloe vera extract

Aloe vera extract (CAS 85507-69-3), also supplied as aloe vera powder, is derived from the leaf gel and rind of Aloe barbadensis miller. It is used across personal care, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors globally.

It functions as a humectant and antioxidant, helping formulators retain moisture and extend product stability. In cosmetic and personal care formulations, it is incorporated into lotions, serums, gels, and after-sun products.

These applications deliver skin-conditioning and moisture-retention performance. Beverage and functional food manufacturers use it as a functional ingredient in aloe drinks, health shots, and nutraceutical blends targeting digestive wellness.

Pharmaceutical and OTC topical preparations, including wound gels and dermatological creams, rely on it for its soothing and stabilizing contribution. These products must meet high quality standards like USP reference standards.

Contract formulators in the supplement sector also use concentrated powder forms in capsule and tablet production. Aloe vera extract is available as a spray-dried powder, freeze-dried powder, and liquid concentrate.

Powder is the dominant commercial form for ease of handling and shelf life. Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with specifications typically aligned to IASC certification for purity and quality.

Concentration is commonly expressed as a ratio extract, such as 100:1 or 200:1, or by polysaccharide content. This ensures that the active components are present in the correct levels for industrial manufacturing needs.
