What it is
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water is the aqueous portion derived from the leaves of the aloe vera plant. It is used as a gentle, hydrating base or additive that carries naturally occurring polysaccharides, amino acids, and minor plant constituents while imparting a soothing, conditioned feel. It often replaces part of the water phase in lightweight sunscreens and skincare to add a botanical, comforting character.
