  Aloe Vera Juice & EU Regulations

  Posted by braveheart on December 30, 2015 at 12:46 am

  I just want to ask if you are using Aloe Vera Juice and no water in a formulation, do you need the preservative (microbiological) efficacy testing (PET) or just the standard cosmetic product safety report (CPSR)?

  
  

  Is Aloe Vera juice not classified into the same category as water?

  Preservatives are necessary here as Aloe vera is from natural source.

  Aloe Vera Juice is mostly water.

  There’s a very simple rule - if you are selling something commercially, you ALWAYS need to have a PET run. No exceptions.

  As Perry stated, Aloe has a high water content. It in and of itself must be preserved and any product using Aloe Vera must have a broad spectrum preservative.
