Not every base ingredient needs to be a solid butter or a heavy oil. Sometimes the job calls for a lightweight, water-based liquid, and that's exactly where Aloe Vera fits into a maker's shelf.

What Is Aloe Vera

Our Aloe Vera is a plant-derived liquid with a thin, fast-absorbing texture. The ingredient list is simple: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice as the base, with Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, and Potassium Sorbate to keep the liquid stable and shelf-ready. It's naturally low in scent, which means it won't compete with any fragrance or essential oil you're formulating with.

How to Use It

Because Aloe Vera is water-based, it works well anywhere a formulation calls for a water phase or a lightweight liquid base:

• Lotions and creams: Use it in place of plain water for the water phase, adding a skin-conditioning quality to the base.
• Facial mists: Combine with a preservative system and any actives or hydrosols you're working with for a light, refreshing mist.
• Direct application: Apply on its own as a lightweight moisturizer, without needing to build a full formulation around it.
• Liquid hand soaps and body washes: Incorporate as part of the water phase for a conditioning feel in cleansing products.
• Shampoos and conditioners: Add to hair care formulations where a lightweight, water-based ingredient is useful.

Its fast-absorbing, thin consistency means it blends easily into other liquids without adding weight or residue to the finished product.

Storage

Keep Aloe Vera sealed and stored in a cool location out of direct sunlight. Because it's a liquid formulation with its own preservative system already built in, it's straightforward to store and measure out as needed for batching.
