Native of Natural supplies Dry Aloe Vera Leaves (also known as Ghrit Kumari or Aloe barbadensis Miller). While fresh Aloe Vera is primarily known for its internal gel, the dried whole leaf or dried leaf skin is a valuable commodity in herbal processing, particularly for its compounds found in the outer leaf rind and latex layer.
We offer dried Aloe Vera leaves or leaf components that are carefully prepared to meet specific industry needs, whether for extraction, coarse cuts for infusion, or Ayurvedic raw material.

Processing Note: Aloin ContentThe yellow, bitter latex found between the leaf rind and the inner gel contains high levels of aloin (an anthraquinone). Products made from the whole leaf or unprocessed leaf skin will naturally contain higher levels of aloin, which is a known laxative. The dried leaf is primarily used in this form for traditional applications where the laxative property is desired, or as a raw material for industrial aloin extraction.
