Verdict
Widely used skin-conditioning plant extract from Cape Aloe (Aloe ferox) rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. Key safety parameter is anthraquinone content ≤50 ppm to avoid phototoxicity and sensitization risks; CIR (2007) issued insufficient data conclusion due to unclear ingredient characterization and lack of dermal toxicity data.
US Note
CIR 2007 concluded insufficient data to support safety of Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract specifically; anthraquinone content must be ≤50 ppm per industry standard; additional 28-day dermal toxicity studies were required
