Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder

What Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder is & what it does

A dried, concentrated form of aloe vera leaf juice, reconstituted in the water phase of a formula. It is used as a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient that adds a light hydrating feel and helps calm the look of stressed or sun-exposed skin. The powder form lets brands add aloe's benefits without the bulk water, which is convenient in sticks and anhydrous products.

What is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder and what does it do in sunscreen?

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder is dried aloe vera leaf juice, used as a soothing and skin-conditioning ingredient. In sunscreen it adds a light, calming, hydrating feel and supports comfort on sun-exposed skin. It is the same aloe you know, just in powder form so it can be added without extra water. It appears in many formulas in our catalog, from sprays to daily moisturizers with SPF.

Is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder safe?

Yes. Aloe vera and its derivatives are among the most widely used soothing plant ingredients in skincare, with a long history of topical use and a good safety record at cosmetic levels. It is generally well tolerated, including on sensitive skin. As with any plant extract, a small number of people can be sensitive to it, so a patch test is sensible if you react easily.

Does Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder clog pores?

Generally no. It is a water-soluble, lightweight ingredient with no fatty or waxy component, so it is not considered a pore-clogging ingredient. It is used to soothe and add a light hydrated feel rather than to add oil. If a product breaks you out, the richer emollients and oils elsewhere in the formula are far more likely the cause.

What else is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder called?

Aloe Barbadensis is simply the botanical name for aloe vera, so on a label this ingredient means powdered aloe vera leaf juice. You may also see closely related forms like Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice or Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract. They all point back to the same well-known plant.

Is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder vegan and natural?

Yes. It is derived directly from the aloe vera plant, so it is plant-based and considered a natural ingredient. It is suitable for vegan formulas since it contains no animal-derived material. The powder is just the leaf juice with the water removed.
