HOW IS ALOE VERA MADE? 1 2 The aloe is placed through a series of coarse screening filters in a juice press to remove the large pieces of rind. The resulting liquid is pumped into sanitized stainless steel holding tanks before advancing to a depulping extractor. This extractor removes any remaining pulp and rind particles generated by the initial grinding process.

The liquid is then passed through a series of press filters with carbon coated plates that remove the phenolic constituents, including aloin, and any microscopic pieces of leaf, sand or other particles. The aloe vera juice is continually passed through the filter press until 99.9% or more of the aloin is removed. This filter press using carbon filtration removes the aloin which makes the product Proposition 65 compliant.
The aloe plant is native to Mexico regions because the soil is volcanic in origin and is rich in calcium and magnesium. The warm, dry climate also allows the plant to grow all year round. did you know ?

WHAT IS ALOIN?
Aloin comes from the thin layer of yellow sap that separates the outer rind from the inner gel-like portion of the leaf and acts as a laxative component. In raw form, aloe vera’s aloin content is around 10,000 parts per million, which can be harsh on the body.
Aloin is removed through several processes of filtering, making the resulting aloe vera compliant with Proposition 65.
