50 ppm (anthraquinones)%
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded there was insufficient data for Aloe species other than Aloe barbadensis to establish a safety profile. An industry-established limit for anthraquinones in aloe-derived materials for non-medicinal use is 50 ppm. It is critical to differentiate this ingredient from *Aloe vera whole leaf extract*, which has been classified as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) due to anthraquinones. A patch test is recommended prior to widespread application to assess individual skin reactivity.
