Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract is a standardized 5% hydroglycerin stock, harnessing the power of over 200 bioactive compounds, including hydrating polysaccharides like acemannan, for superior skin hydration and soothing effects. Often recognized by its trade names Aloe Vera or Aloe Barbadensis, our offering is meticulously processed for cosmetic excellence.
A succulent plant widely recognized for its thick, fleshy leaves.
Formulate Labs offers Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, derived from the botanical species Aloe Barbadensis, widely recognized by its common trade names Aloe Vera and Aloe Barbadensis. We supply this ingredient under its precise INCI designation, ensuring clarity and consistency for your cosmetic formulations.
Dual mechanism: *Aloe Barbadensis* Leaf Extract provides immediate surface hydration through its film-forming polysaccharides, such as acemannan, which bind water to the stratum corneum. Concurrently, it supports deeper epidermal water transport by upregulating Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) channels in keratinocytes. Its bioactive compounds further help to soothe skin, reduce the appearance of erythema, and offer valuable antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits that protect both the skin and the formulation itself.
Use levels: Formulate Labs' standard 5% hydroglycerin stock of *Aloe Barbadensis* Leaf Extract is typically recommended at 1.0% to 10.0% of the total formulation to achieve desired humectant, soothing, and protective effects.
Market context: Leading B2B suppliers differentiate their *Aloe Barbadensis* Leaf Extract through analytical guarantees, such as confirmed polysaccharide molecular weights and aloin levels below 50 ppm. They strategically market it within clean beauty narratives, emphasizing its plant-based, biodegradable, and vegan-compliant nature, often highlighting eco-friendly extraction. Furthermore, competitors position aloe not merely as a basic humectant but as an advanced, multifunctional active, promoting its role in skin barrier resilience, microbiome balance, and overall scalp health for modern hybrid cosmetic formulas.
Pricing context: While B2B pricing for standardized cosmetic-grade aloe extracts varies, general wholesale data indicates liquid extracts typically range from $1.00 to $4.00 USD per kg, with premium variants commanding $10.00 to $25.00 USD per kg. Formulate Labs' premium, standardized *Aloe Barbadensis* Leaf Extract is priced competitively, with a 500g sample at $13.00, 1 kg at $20.00, and 17 kg pails at $272.00 (or $16.00/kg).
