Botanical Name: Aloe Ferox
Country of Origin: South Africa
Description: Aloe Cape Powder is produced from the dried leaf exudate of Aloe ferox, a thick-leaved succulent species native to South Africa and neighbouring regions. The plant’s leaves naturally contain a resinous sap that, once dried, forms a dark, concentrated material. When milled, it becomes a fine powder with a deep brown colour and a smooth, uniform texture characteristic of dried aloe exudate.
The production process begins with collecting mature leaves and allowing the sap to drain naturally from their cut surfaces. This thick, exuded material is carefully gathered and dried under controlled conditions until it reaches a firm, stable state. The dried mass is then ground into a consistent powder and sieved to achieve an even particle size. These steps preserve the natural appearance and structural qualities of the dried aloe material without altering its botanical profile.
Aloe Cape Powder is used in crafting and natural colouring projects that incorporate plant-based powders for colour and texture. In craft and educational settings, the powder can be included in pigment mixtures, art bases, or other plant-themed creations that highlight botanical materials. It is valued for its rich deep brown colour derived from the plant.
Storage: In a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
