Henna Sooq’s Organic Aloe Vera Powder is a khaki-green coloured fine powder with a wide range of uses. Organic Aloe Vera Powder is produced by freeze-drying the leaves and pulp of the Aloe Vera leaf. Organic Aloe Vera Powder smells like a combination of peas, grass and honeydew melon and behaves not much different to a stringy henna. To mix Organic Aloe Vera powder with liquid, add liquid slowly, stirring well between each addition to avoid clumping.
Benefits of Aloe Powder for Hair Care
Organic Aloe Vera Powder adds moisture and conditions the hair, nourishes new growth, soothes and heals an irritated scalp, helps stimulate growth, balances pH of the scalp and can be used in many ways for the hair, including:
Hair Masques: Add 1-3 tsp Of Organic Aloe Vera Powder to any moisturising, herbal, Ayurvedic or protein treatment to amp up the conditioning and moisturising.
Hair Wash: Blend Organic Aloe Vera Powder with water, herbal tea or Soapnut/Shikakai tea until the consistency resembles commercial shampoo. Massage the gel gently into the hair and scalp, leave on the hair for up to 5 minutes, then wash out. There’s no need to follow with a diluted acidic rinse as the pH of aloe is slightly on the acidic side, closer to the pH of the hair and scalps acid mantle.
Soothing Scalp Treatment: Create a paste from 3-4 TBS Organic Aloe Vera Powder and chamomile tea, and apply to the scalp for an extra soothing scalp pack for irritated and/or itchy scalps.
With Henna: Added to henna for added moisture and provide slip to make henna paste easier to apply. Add 1 TBS Organic Aloe Vera Powder to 100g of henna powder and mix with your choice of liquid.
Added to Indigo: To provide slip to Indigo paste and to lessen the ‘drying effect’ from the Indigo. Do not add any more than 5 grams Organic Aloe Vera Powder to 100g of Indigo and premix with water before adding to dye released Indigo.
To Boost Growth: Combine 2 TBS each of Bhringraj Powder and Organic Aloe Vera Powder and 1 tsp Shikakai Powder with water and 1/4 tsp Organic Camellia Oil. Apply to scalp for at least an hour and wash out. Repeat once a week.
As a Post Wash Conditioner: Gradually add water to 1 tsp Organic Aloe Vera Powder and stir until there are no lumps. Stir in another 2 cups of water and shake until all lumps are gone. Pour the liquid over washed hair and leave on the hair for up to 10 minutes. Rinse well.
In Mister Bottles: Blend Organic Aloe Vera Powder with water to form a lump-free paste. Continue to add water until the paste is runny, the add this to 2 cups of water and shake. Make sure there are no lumps, or the spray bottle will clog. Spray the hair when it needs a moisture boost. If the hair feels crunchy, spray the hair with plain water afterwards and use a more dilute solution next time.

Could you also add the av powder to a liquified version of the henna sooq shampoo bars?
If possible, how would you do this?
Good day. Thank you for your post Jasmine.
You can add a few tsp to the liquid shampoo bar after you’ve created it. Just add it and mix well and then use. The powder will dissolve into the liquid
Thanks!
How to make alovera powder in home
Hello.
Sorry I really have no personal idea how to make aloe vera powder. We only carry it at http://www.hennasooq.com and it’s made in India.
what is the shelf life of this powder state? does this also need to be refrigerated once mixed with distilled water and herbs like marshmallow root?
I recommend any leftover herbal or henna paste be kept frozen and it can keep for 4-6 months. Not in the fridge as it can go rancid as a liquid since there’s no preservative being use.d. THhe shelf life of the power is 3 years.
Hi I’m trying to add aloe vera powder to a homemade beard oil recipe. Is there an easy way to add the powder to carrier/essential oils effectively? I currently make 1 oz. bottles for myself. Can you measure out the percentage easily using the powder? I like the idea and inexpensiveness of powder but is there another form that works best other than powder to mix with the oil? Whether I’m using powder or another form, how much should I use with the carrier/essential oils for the best viscosity? Thanks for your help!
Hello Blaise. You can measure out 5% of the total oil you use for what of aloe vera powder you should add. Powders are a little more difficult to add directly to an oil base unless you strain it. Have you tried to strain it as well through a cheesecloth? What about just using aloe vera oil to your mix instead?
Hi Blaise! Sorry for my delayed reply. I feel so bad as my first reply was so quick. I just got so backed up in the last few months but getting back on track.
For straining I personally use a cheap stocking. Even with oils/infusions I help create. It may change the texture. Did you get a chance to try it out and what happened? I’m so curious.
