Science
Mechanism of Action
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf's complex composition, including polysaccharides, salicylic acid, and glycoproteins, synergistically hydrates, mildly exfoliates, and reduces inflammation. It stimulates fibroblast activity, boosting collagen and elastin production while inhibiting MMPs to prevent photoaging.

Key findings
- 01 An 8-week clinical trial demonstrated a significant reduction in acne severity, a 50% increase in skin hydration, and a 51% reduction in skin inflammation (erythema).
- 02 In vitro studies revealed 0.3% concentrations inhibited MMP-1 production by 75% and increased collagen production by up to 125%.
- 03 Formulations achieved optimal stability (homogeneity, pH, organoleptic properties) at 27°C.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly sensitive to heat and UV light; ideal storage is at or below 27°C. Its electrolyte content can destabilize certain thickeners like carbomer.
Conflicts
- Carbomer (can thin due to electrolyte content)
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Highly alkaline environments (causes browning)
Safety
Safety Profile
Deemed safe for cosmetic use, provided anthraquinone levels (e.g., aloin) remain below 50 ppm to prevent potential phototoxicity and irritation.
