The aloe vera extract is available as a range of products, including gel juice, whole leaf juice, gel dried powder, whole leaf dried powder and diced gel in juice. Both decolorized and non-decolorized products are available. The aloe vera extract can be used as a thickening agent for drinks and ice creams. But it cannot be added into drinks with alcohol because precipitation may occur.

Aloe vera contains both glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Glycoproteins have healing effect and polysaccharides have soothing and moisturizing effects to skin. Therefore the aloe vera extract is often added into cosmetic products such as makeup, tissues, moisturizers, soaps, sunscreens, incense, shaving cream and shampoos. Various components of aloe (aloin, aloe-emodin, and barbaloin) are used as laxatives.
