Aloe vera 1:10 is an active ingredient for cosmetics. It is said to reduce irritation, among other things.

Use

The use of Aloe vera 1:10 is simple: mix with the other substances and ready. Heating is not necessary. For more complicated products such as emulsions: use it in a water-miscible phase.

With normal use, about 1-10% is needed in the final product, but there is no limit for safety, you could use it pure on the skin.

De Hekserij does not sell products intended for use in foodstuffs or for other internal use. This product is NOT an exception.

Properties

Aloe vera 1:10 is a light yellow liquid at room temperature. The substance is preserved and therefore has a reasonably long shelf life: keep in a cool, dry, dark and well-closed packaging.

It is made from the leaves of Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.. By evaporating part of the water, keeping the temperature low, the product concentrates. As a preservative, a mixture of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate is used. Because these only work at a low pH, the pH is lowered with citric acid to a maximum of about 5.

A cosmetic technical application is that as a moisturizing agent (moisturizer) and moisturizing container (humectant). This is possible because the extract contains sugars and glycosides. For example, you can use it as an alternative to glycerine, sorbitol or panthenol. As a cosmetic ingredient, it has the following properties, among others:

• Moisturizing
• Skin healing
• Protect damaged and irritated skin
• Calming for sunburn

As usual, there is little scientific support for this, so we cannot make a real claim.

Sustainability

Aloe vera 1:10 is made almost entirely from renewable, plant-based substances. The preservation is less sustainable, but it is widely accepted in organic cosmetics. It is completely biodegradable in the environment.

Packaging

The 10 and 50 ml packaging consists of a brown glass bottle with a black plastic (PP) closure. The 5 kg pack consists of a transparent plastic (HDPE) pack with a black plastic (PP) cap. The other sizes are packed in brown plastic (PET) with a black plastic (PP) cap.
