Overview

Aloe Vera Macerated Carrier Oil is an artisanal, whole-leaf infusion rather than a pressed seed oil. Pure, certified organic Aloe Vera leaf gel (mucilage) is macerated into heated organic Jojoba and Soybean carrier oils, followed by mechanical filtration with no chemical solvents. This process allows the fat-soluble active compounds of Aloe Vera to integrate into a nourishing base, combining the hydrating, cooling, and restorative benefits of Aloe Vera with the moisture-locking barrier of lipid oils.
