INCI: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
This powder is mixed 200:1 (200 parts water with 1 part aloe powder). This is sometimes called 200X. This really is that concentrated! The half-ounce jar will make 101 ounces of aloe juice. The 16 oz wt jar will make 201 pounds of aloe juice (just over 25 gallons)!
Aloe can be added to lotions, soaps, shampoo, conditioners, and even masks. Look for any application where aloe might be used and try it!
Because this is a new product to most of you, and it brings the variable results of a botanical, please use this product lightly during testing - slowing increasing the usage rate until you are satisfied with the results. In soap, we think the most economical usage with great final results are from 1-3% addition of aloe (as a reconstituted product).
The odor is a bright but somewhat bitter, green note in the dried and concentrated form. When hydrated, the odor is mild and pleasant. The key is dilution. Excessive use of aloe or the dry material as an unhydrated material may give an odd odor, but this has never been a problem for us when used in solution and lower usage rates.
