Aloe Vera Extract
Introduction
Aloe Vera Extract is derived from the succulent leaves of Aloe barbadensis Miller, a plant widely known for its soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties. It has been used in traditional medicine and cosmetics for thousands of years, especially in ancient Egypt, China, and India.

The extract contains bioactive compounds including aloin, acemannan (aloe polysaccharide), anthraquinones, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. These constituents provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-repairing benefits.

Commercial production involves harvesting fresh aloe leaves, removing the outer rind and processing either the inner gel or the whole leaf. The material is then dehydrated, milled, and extracted (typically with water or water–ethanol). The extract is spray-dried into a fine light yellow to brown powder, with specifications standardized for aloin ≥10%–20% or aloe polysaccharides ≥10%–50% according to application needs.
