On the market there are many products that use their Aloe vera content as a claim, but in this group we find both those with a concentration of 2% and those that reach more than 90%. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between Aloe vera gel, juice, concentrate and extract.
The gel is the pulp of the crushed leaf, rich in polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals, but which may contain aloin, a substance with laxative action present in the plant, which is eliminated in the transformation process to obtain the juice. Juice is the most beneficial way to obtain Aloe vera, it does not contain aloin, but preserves the rest of its components.
For its part, Aloe vera concentrate is dehydrated gel. While the extract is a preparation obtained from the powder mixed with water, and which usually contains less than 10% of this plant. These powder-based products lack the original properties of the plant since, in the freeze-drying process to which Aloe is subjected (dehydration process to obtain the powder), it loses much of its original properties.
Most manufacturers use powder, due to the cost and logistics savings it entails: it is more expensive to transport vats of Aloe juice than the already dehydrated powder product, and to add water later.
HOW DO THESE DIFFERENCES AFFECT OUR SKIN?
Aloe vera contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, various secondary plant compounds and also mono- and polysaccharides. The most important ingredient is Aloverose, a complex sugar that only occurs in the species “Aloe barbadensis Miller” and that locks hydration full of active ingredients into the skin.
In healthy skin, the difference between a pure product. With high levels of Aloverosa, and another based on Aloe powders and water, it may not be appreciated as much.
When it comes to sensitive, damaged skin, burns, etc., the concentration of the active ingredients plays an important role.
Atlantia produces and produces its products based on pure Aloe vera in the Canary Islands. Which is a great advantage over other brands. The firm guarantees an Aloverosa level of 1,700 mg/l, a very high level compared to the market average. The difference between an unprocessed natural product and one that is processed is mainly found in the loss of its original properties.
Aloe is made up of very weak molecules, which causes it to deteriorate easily. Therefore, the sooner the product is cold stabilized and packaged, the better its active ingredients are preserved.
