Having been in the Aloe Vera business since 1972, we have found that using leaves from organically grown plants, and utilizing the original method of hand filleting the leaves is still the most effective away of getting the very best of the Aloe Vera leaf. Through our unique patented process we are able to increase the activity of the enzymes, stabilizing them naturally with less than 1% preservatives We take great pride in the quality of product that we have maintained throughout the years and will continue to do so by personally overseeing each and every step of the process. Contains less than 1% preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Benzoate). Aloe Vera is organically grown and processed in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
