Question 1

full list of ingredients? country of origin ever going to not eb china?

Accepted Answer

Apologies - for some reason Amazon only intermittently shows the ingredients in our product, which is why we also post the back of the label.

Full ingredients: 99% ORGANIC ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, CARBOMER, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, TRIETHANOLAMINE, DISODIUM EDTA

We understand some consumers have concerns about skin-care products made in China. We are an American based company and 100% own all of our ECOCERT certified organic farms, as well as manufacturing facilities in China. We grow and process in China because it is where the best Aloe in the world, with the highest acemannan content, Aloe's key bioactive compound, grows.

What we believe most consumers are actually worried about is not understanding where there products come from.  By owning every step of the process, at ALODERMA we are able to provide full line of site into where our plants are grown and are actually working on QR codes that will allow you to know the specific plot on our farms, plant and harvest date, as well as the organic compounds we added to the fields where your aloe gel came from.

Very few, if any, other Aloe products on the market actually own the farms that produce the primary component in their product and they buy already processed aloe gel on the open market type model.  What you see on the label is where the final bottling occurred, not where the product came from.

Question 2

Does this totally dry down or does it leave a sticky residue?

Accepted Answer

Totally dries with no sticky residue

Question 3

It's the "China thing" that is stopping me for the time being. Are they offering samples?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately there isn't a mechanism to offer samples through Amazon.

We understand some consumers may have concerns about products sourced in China, but it is actually something we pride ourselves on. We believe most consumers don't actually know what they are consuming or putting on their skin in terms of where it is sourced. Just because items are labeled as "Made in America", the reality is that most ingredients in those products are sourced elsewhere.  This is especially the case with skin care - most ingredients are sourced from Asia.  It is a reality of the world we live in.
"Manufactured in the USA" does NOT equal ingredients Sourced in the USA. In addition, 75%+ of the consumer goods sold in the United States come from China. We believe what is truly important is knowing where your products come from and how they are handled and manufactured, which is an issue for all products regardless of their source country.  That is where we believe we differ by being a fully vertically integrated Aloe Vera producer.

The Aloe that goes into ALODERMA products are grown on our owned and operated farms in southern China, where we have been operating for over twenty years. We have complete product traceability and we track every bottle to tell you where the aloe came from that went in your bottle within 50 feet. We only use natural organic fertilizers.

Our farms are certified USDA and EU organic by ECOCERT. Our farms were some of the first farms in all of China to be certified organic by ECOCERT and carry a full certification from the USDA, as well as the European Union. Our farms are one of a very select few in all of China that has been designated as a certified eco-origin farm due to the sustainable and environmentally sustainable methods we use on our farms. Our farms are actually frequented by tens of thousands of visitors annually and held up as an example of Sino-American cooperation and the proper way to integrate sustainable operations into the community in which company's operate.

Why did we establish operations in China in the first place? A combination of unique geography, volcanic soils, and sustainable agriculture lead to aloe with some of the highest concentrations of Acemannan globally, aloe’s most studied active compound. Furthermore, our factory where we process and package our aloe drinks and skin care is located within 5 minutes of our farms, which allows us to process all our aloe and turn it into finished products within 12 Hours of Harvest without the use of any harsh chemicals, high temperature treatment or charcoal filtering, which would diminish the natural biological activity found in aloe. This process has been patented and is unique to AloeCure and ALODERMA products and the aloe that we use in our products.
