The first phase in the growth, development and future use of
Aloe Vera is planting; a "pup" (offshoot or sprout) from an Aloe
stalk is delicately removed and carefully hand planted.
The second phase is growth itself. The thick, fleshy green
leaves grow to maturity in about three years, reach a length in
excess of two feet and weigh up to one to two kgs. each.
Throughout the growth phase, no herbicides or pesticides are
used on the plants, keeping them free of harmful chemicals.
Finally, upon full maturity.
The Aloe plant is harvested. The leaves are removed. A crop of
this size is important as it ensures enough Aloe Vera to
accommodate increased demands in the future as well as all
existing needs.
The growing environment is free from chemical fertilizers and
pesticides. The Aloe grows to maturity in about three years.
Upon full maturity, the Aloe leaves are harvested. After being
harvested, the Aloe leaves are being transported to further
processing. |

Processing |
|
When the Aloe
Vera leaves arrive at the Mission facility, they are washed, the
tips and bottoms are removed, and finally they are filleted.
"Fillet of Aloe" involves removal of the leaf's exterior rind
and the extraction of the clear gel found in the center. The
clear gel is collected in stainless steel vats and then piped
through to large mixing tanks, also made of stainless steel.
These tanks hold as much as of the gel. The all important,
patented stabilization process prevents the loss of nutrients
and other beneficial element found in Aloe Vera. After the
stabilization process is completed, the gel is placed in one of
the stainless steel trailers and prepared for health and
cosmetic products. |
