Science
Mechanism of Action
High in polysaccharides (mannose and glucose chains), it acts as a humectant, binding water to the skin. Anthraquinones also contribute to mild UV absorption, anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting pro-apoptotic markers, and scavenging free radicals.

Key findings
- 01 At 1.0-2.0% concentrations, aloe extracts demonstrated effective UV screening for sunburn protection.
- 02 In vitro, 2.0% Aloe vera phytoplacenta extract increased AQP3 protein expression by 120%, quadrupled healing area, and significantly reduced inflammatory markers.

Formulation
Stability
Most stable at approximately 27°C; higher temperatures (40°C+) can cause pH shifts and color changes. Robust preservation is needed due to polysaccharide susceptibility to microbial growth.
Conflicts
- High pH environments (alkaline)
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Anionic surfactants (may cause precipitation in specific concentrations)
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel found insufficient safety data for Aloe Andongensis specifically, distinct from Aloe Barbadensis. Industry limits anthraquinones to 50 ppm due to potential irritancy.
