Description

Cape Aloe, botanically known as Aloe ferox, is a wild-harvested succulent native to the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa. Our powder is produced from the dried leaves of the plant, finely milled to a deep amber-brown powder with a distinctive bitter profile and earthy undertones. Unlike the more common Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), Cape Aloe is a different species with a different traditional use, a different taste, and a different chemical profile.
