Aloe vera is a perennial succulent plant characterized by its thick, fleshy leaves containing a clear inner gel. It has been traditionally used in various wellness and personal-care applications. The leaf gel and inner leaf material are commonly processed into botanical ingredients, while the outer leaf and latex contain different naturally occurring compounds and are handled separately depending on the intended application.
Mature Aloe vera leaves are harvested and carefully cleaned to remove dirt and foreign materials. The leaves may then be processed to separate the inner gel from the outer leaf and latex. Depending on the intended application, the gel can be filtered, stabilized, concentrated, dried, or further processed into gel, juice, powder, or standardized botanical ingredients.
Aloe vera is widely utilized in skincare products, cosmetics, herbal formulations, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, personal-care products, beverages, and wellness preparations. Aloe vera gel is particularly popular in topical formulations because of its association with skin hydration, soothing, and skin-conditioning properties. It is also used in selected food and wellness products in appropriately processed forms.
