Once the aloe gel has been removed from the leaves of the plant, it soon becomes a liquid. Commercial aloe “gels” are generally based on simply adding liquid aloe extract to the common methacrylate plastic gel and some synthetic green dye! We have created a more natural alternative for you, using our Amigel as the gelling agent – and made it twice the strength of usual aloe products as...
Amigel is our unique gelling agent derived from the yeast Sclerotium rolfsii grown on a glucose sugar culture.

We offer our prepared Amigel at a 2% concentration in distilled water, with the...

This cream is formulated as a ‘skin friendly’ alternative to the common Sorbolene and ‘aqueous’creams. These products are based on petrochemicals – mineral oil, paraffin and petroleum jelly – along with strong synthetic emulsifiers and preservatives. They are a poor base for preparations, being neither skin-compatible nor offering any regenerative benefits for the skin. ...

An excellent “all-over” cleanser for the bath or shower, based on mild, coconut oil-derived cleansing agents of ammonium laureth sulfate and cocoamidopropyl betaine.

Laponite is a unique clay-based gelling agent. It is a mixture of natural earth oxides that have been milled to a fine particle size. When added to warm water at a 3% to 4% concentration a stiff, clear “ringing” gel is produced.

Liposomes are extremely small spheres of natural phospholipids from soy lecithin. They are popular in expensive cosmetic ranges (and in medical applications), because of the ability of liposomes to easily penetrate the epidermis of the skin. Liposomes can be “loaded” with other active ingredients eclosed within the liposome spheres or they can be used “unloaded”. We provide pure soy...

Or create thinner preparations, like pumpable serums. It is...
Amiox is our unique Rosemary extract that is a potent natural antioxidant. Antioxidants are helpful because these molecules ‘mop up’ oxygen and free radicals much more readily than the fatty acids in the oil. By adding only two drops (or 0.05%) of Amiox to every 100mL of vegetable oil, the ‘shelf life’ of the oil can be extended for perhaps another 30% to 40% longer. Amiox is far superior...
