Aloe Vera gel is the product that
is squeezed from the leaves of the aloe plant. The gel has a thick
consistency for a short time, but after a few minutes, an enzyme
reaction occurs and the product becomes a liquid. This product is
freeze dried to preserve its properties. The resulting product is
Aloe Powder.
Aloe Powder
is a lyophilized (Freeze Dried) crystalline powder produced from the
gel of the Aloe Vera Barbadensis-Miller plant that has been
organically grown. During processing, the powder is blended with
food grade maltodextrin to avoid clumping, due to Aloe powder’s
hygroscopic nature. The resulting product is a powdered concentrate of the
liquid Aloe gel that may be reconstituted with deionized water
(stable with the addition of further preservatives), typically at a
reconstitution ratio of 1:99. Aloe Powder is water miscible, and may
be used in cosmetics, toiletries, pharmaceuticals, health foods and
beverages. Aloe Powder may also be added directly to your melt and
pour soap base at a level of up to 1/2% by weight.

Guide
Aloe Water:
Blend 1oz (28grams)100X Aloe Powder
with 99oz (2772grams) distilled water.
Stir well until fully blended and no aloe powder is visible.
Add 28 grams
Germaben II to preserve the reconstituted mixture.
Can be added to your lotion and soap recipes to replace the
water.
Aloe Vera Gel:
Making Aloe Gel is a process of
reconstituting the Aloe Powder with water, and adding a
thickener to form a gel. We used
Soapmakers Aid 2000 ,
a polymer thickener to form the gel. Below is a formulation
to create a thick aloe gel in minutes. All ingredients are
measured by weight in grams, not volume. Use a gram scale
to measure the ingredients. The thickener is reacted using
Triethanolamine ,to raise
the ph and form a consistent gel. Once the Triethanolamine
a.k.a. (TEA) has been added, stir for 2-3 minutes. The
product should become clear. If it is not completely clear, add
a few more grams of TEA and continue to stir until the gel
is clear. You can reduce the amount of Soapmakers Aid 2000
to form a thinner gel. Do not add the TEA until the
Soapmakers Aid 2000 has been completely mixed with the Aloe
Water.
