This ingredient comes from a renewable agricultural source and is readily biodegradable. Its sustainability profile depends on farming practices, water use, and the footprint of shipping a water-heavy material.
Is Aloe Gel COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS-natural and can fit COSMOS-organic when the agricultural source and processing meet the standard. It aligns well with Green Chemistry because it is renewable, water-based, biodegradable, and typically made with low-complexity physical processing.
How does Aloe Gel work chemically?
The material is mostly water with polysaccharides, sugars, minerals, organic acids, and small amounts of phenolic compounds that influence feel and skin-conditioning performance. It is commonly used around 0.5% to 10% in emulsions and cleansers, or much higher when it forms the product base, and it needs an effective preservative system because its water and nutrient content support microbial growth.
