Formulation view Aloe vera extract forms the base with a crosslinked acrylate polymer creating a gel structure. Includes vitamin E for antioxidant, propylene glycol for moisture, and fragrance. Formulator's note: Structure relies on neutralizer pH adjustment. Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives require strict dosing to avoid sensitization; aloe endotoxins and microbial load are key quality challenges requiring pure raw materials.
