Cape Aloe, or Aloe ferox, is a tall, spiny aloe species native to South Africa. This powder is made from the dried inner pith of the leaf, giving it a greenish-brown color and a much longer shelf life than fresh aloe gel.
It's traditionally used in bitters blends and herbal tea mixes. The source notes it shouldn't be taken orally while pregnant, nursing, or menstruating, and that the bitter leaf juice shouldn't be applied directly to skin.
