Pure Natural Aloe Vera Powder | Aloe Vera Dried Leaves Powder
Product Description
Antique Ayurveda Natural Aloe Vera Leaves Powder is made from naturally grown Aloe barbadensis miller leaves that are carefully harvested, low-temperature dried to preserve the natural compounds, and stone-ground into a fine pale green powder.
Aloe vera is a succulent plant native to the Arabian Peninsula but now cultivated extensively across India, particularly in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The thick, fleshy leaves contain a clear gel layer beneath the outer skin — it is this gel that holds the plant's characteristic mucilaginous, soothing properties. When the entire leaf (including gel and dried leaf flesh) is processed into powder, the result is a concentrated form that rehydrates when mixed with water or other liquids.
Aloe vera powder is widely used in face pack and skincare preparations — mixed with water, rose water, or yoghurt to form a smooth mask. It is also used in hair packs and scalp treatments, in DIY natural cosmetic formulations, and in traditional Ayurvedic preparations. It contains naturally occurring polysaccharides (primarily acemannan), anthraquinones, and a range of vitamins and minerals in their naturally occurring forms.
Our aloe vera powder is naturally and sustainably sourced — naturally grown without synthetic pesticides — low-temperature dried to preserve the mucilaginous quality, and packed without preservatives or artificial additives.

As Per Ayurveda
Aloe vera (Kumari in Sanskrit) is one of the most extensively referenced succulents in Ayurvedic classical literature. It is classified as having Tikta (bitter), Madhura (sweet) rasa, Guru (heavy), Snigdha (unctuous) qualities and Sheeta virya (cooling potency). Classical texts describe it as Pitta-shamak (cooling Pitta), Vata-shamak (pacifying Vata), and as having Lekhaniya (scraping) and Shothaghna (reducing inflammation) properties. Kumari is used in classical Ayurvedic formulations for its cooling and soothing properties — internally in small quantities in traditional preparations and externally in skin and hair applications. It is one of the primary ingredients in classical formulations for Rakta Pitta conditions.

FAQ
A: Mix 1–2 teaspoons of aloe vera powder with enough rose water or plain water to form a smooth paste (approximately 2–3 teaspoons of liquid). Apply evenly to clean skin, leave for 15–20 minutes, and rinse with cool water. For a hair mask, mix with coconut oil or yoghurt and apply to scalp and hair before washing.
A: Aloe vera powder is concentrated dried aloe — when reconstituted with water it forms a gel-like paste similar to fresh aloe gel. The drying process concentrates the compounds present in fresh gel, so a small amount of powder produces a substantial quantity of reconstituted preparation. Fresh aloe gel has a higher water content; the powder is more shelf-stable and convenient.
A: Approximately 1 teaspoon (3–4g) of aloe vera powder mixed with 5–6 teaspoons of water produces a quantity roughly equivalent to 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe gel. Adjust the water quantity to achieve your preferred consistency — more water produces a thinner, more liquid preparation; less water makes a thicker paste.
A: Yes — mix 2–3 teaspoons of aloe vera powder with warm water or coconut milk to form a smooth paste. Apply to scalp and hair from root to tip. Leave for 30–45 minutes under a shower cap, then rinse with cool water and wash with a natural hair cleanser. Aloe vera is traditionally associated with scalp soothing and moisturising in both Ayurvedic and global natural hair care practice.
