They utilize the certified organic Aloe vera to produce several proprietary raw materials sold in the medical, nutritional and cosmetic markets under the brands Acemannan Hydrogel, Manapol(R) and Hydrapol. Additionally, the company will be launching new raw materials in the second half of 2007 that will allow Carrington to reach new customers and expand its market share. All new products will contain Carrington’s certified organic Aloe vera. Use of these materials allows customers to claim “contains certified organically-grown Aloe vera” on their labeling and make certified organic skin care, dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages. According to the Organic Trade Association 2006 Manufacturer Survey, the 2005 sales of organic non-foods grew 32.5% to $744 million in the United States. The leaders in this category were organic dietary supplements ($238 million with 29% growth) and personal care products ($282 million with 28% growth).

I love Aloe Vera and use it for way, way, way too many things, so it is really good to know that there will be a continued organic option out their for aloe vera products!
