Question
How should the concentrated Aloe Vera Extract (10:1 FullAssay™) be used? Can it be applied directly to the skin or must it be mixed into a base formulation, and if so, what types of bases and at what usage rate?
Answer
Regarding Aloe Vera Extract (10:1 FullAssay™)
The Aloe Vera Extract (extraction ratio 10:1 FullAssay™) is a concentrated ingredient designed to be mixed into cosmetic formulations, not applied directly to the skin.
It should be incorporated into a base product. Simple options for mixing include:
- Pre-made Gel Bases: Products like Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) or Aloe Vera Gel (Lite) are excellent, easy-to-use bases that already contain Aloe Vera Extract and are designed for adding other active ingredients.
- Other Simple Bases: You can also mix it into other simple cream or lotion bases.
The typical usage rate for this extract is 1-10% of the final product formulation.
