What is Aloe Vera Powder?

Aloe Vera has deep hydrating and nourishing properties for skin and hair and in powder form is easy to add to your favorite DIY care products, from shampoos and conditioners to soap and bath pearls.

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) leaves are washed and dried after harvest, after which the leaves (including the dried gel) are ground into a powder. Aloe Vera powder is therefore highly concentrated, which means you only need a small amount in your DIY creations. It is suitable for all skin types, but some people may have an allergic reaction to it, so always test it on a small patch of skin first to see how you react.
