The Cosmetics Ingredient Review in 2007 completed and approved Aloe barbadensis for safety. However, it stated that additional studies needed are 28-day dermal toxicity studies on Aloe Andongensis Extract, Aloe Andongensis Leaf Juice, Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract, Aloe Arborescens Leaf Juice, Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract, Aloe Ferox Leaf Juice, and Aloe Ferox Leaf Juice (ingredients should be tested at current use concentrations). In Aloe-derived ingredients used in cosmetics, regardless of species, anthraquinone levels should not exceed 50 ppm. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel advised the industry that the total polychlorobiphenyl (PCB)/pesticide contamination of any plant-derived cosmetic ingredient should be limited to not more than 40 ppm, with not more than 10 ppm for any specific residue and that limits were appropriate for the following impurities: arsenic (3 mg/kg maximum), heavy metals (20 mg/kg maximum), and lead (5 mg/kg maximum).

*Two trace ingredients in this product have been identified as potentially harmful in cosmetics use. TEA (Triethanolamine) is used to balance pH, but has been known to cause allergic reactions, irritate the eyes, and can cause skin dryout. Methyl propyl paraben has been linked to breast cancer. The FDA has claimed that they are harmless in very low concentrations.
