Aloe Vera Extract Powder

Aloe Vera Extract Powder is a white to light beige, water-soluble botanical powder made in the USA by dehydration, with a stated concentration of 100:1. It is a practical way to bring aloe into lotions, creams, gels, cleansers and hair-care products without shipping water. The typical usage rate is 0.05 to 0.2% of powder (1% reconstitutes roughly a single-strength aloe juice), and you can buy it in 1 oz, 5 oz, 1 pound and 2 pound packs.

What Aloe Vera Extract Powder Is

The powder is produced by dehydrating aloe leaf material into a dry, concentrated form. The INCI is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder (CAS 94349-62-9). Because it is dry, it behaves differently from ready-made aloe gel: you rebuild the liquid yourself by dissolving the powder in water, which lets you decide on strength and texture.

Key Properties

Moisture-loving aloe polysaccharides

The current product text describes aloe as rich in polysaccharides that act as a natural humectant, drawing and holding moisture so skin looks plumper and more hydrated.

Easy water solubility

It dissolves in water-based products such as lotions, creams, serums and hair masks, so no special equipment is required.

Concentrated and compact

With a 100:1 concentration, a small amount of powder goes a long way, and the dry form takes far less shelf space than liquid aloe.

Applications

Use it in face and body lotions, creams, gels, gentle cleansers, shampoos, conditioners and hair masks. It fits well alongside other moisture-focused ingredients such as D-Panthenol 75% (ProVitamin B5) and a ready hyaluronic acid gel. More plant powders for color, scent and positioning are in our botanical extracts category.

How to Use

Dissolve the powder in the water phase, typically at 0.05 to 0.2% of the finished formula; 1% reconstitutes roughly a single-strength aloe juice and is the practical maximum. Calculate the amount from the powder specification rather than from aloe gel figures, because the two formats differ in water content and composition. Aloe does not preserve a product: a water-based item still needs a suitable preservation system and testing. For more detail, read our guide DIY Hydrating Face Mask with Aloe, Honey and Cucumber.

Choosing your pack

The 1 oz pack is enough for first tests, the 5 oz pack covers a lot of trial batches thanks to the concentrated format, while the 1 and 2 pound packs serve regular lotion and shampoo production.

Compatibility

As a water-soluble material it blends with humectants, gels and floral waters such as Eucalyptus Globulus Organic Hydrosol. Check the appearance and stability of the finished product in a small batch before scaling.

FAQ

Is the powder the same as aloe vera gel?

No. The two formats differ in water content and composition, so calculate amounts from the powder specification.

How much should I use?

For a 100:1 powder, 0.05 to 0.2% of the finished formula is the typical range. 1% reconstitutes roughly a single-strength aloe juice and is the practical maximum.

Does aloe preserve my product?

No. Water-based products still need a preservation system and testing.

What concentration is it?

100:1 (100X). It is spray dried from aloe leaf gel, so one part of powder corresponds to about one hundred parts of aloe leaf juice.

How do I make aloe juice from the powder?

Sprinkle the powder into cool distilled water while stirring and let it hydrate fully. 1 g in 99 g of water gives roughly a single-strength aloe juice. Rebuild only the amount you need for each batch.

Which sizes are available?

Aloe Vera Extract Powder comes in 1 oz, 5 oz, 1 pound and 2 pound packs.

Liquid or powder aloe?

For quick everyday dosing choose our Aloe Vera Glycerin Extract; choose the 100:1 powder when you want a high aloe load with no extra glycerin or water.
