Aloe Vera Powder

Description

Aloe Vera Powder is obtained by drying the leaves and pulp/ gel of the aloe vera plant. The dried plant is then ground into a smooth powder. Aloe Vera plant is widely used as an ingredient in the cosmetic and skincare industry. Aloe Vera Powder is more concentrated than the fresh plant, and so you need a little Aloe Vera Powder (between 0.1% to 1%) added to water to make Aloe Vera Juice.
