Description
Lakewood Organic Pure Whole Leaf Aloe is a two-ingredient juice made from organic whole leaf aloe vera with organic lemon juice. It’s made from the entire aloe leaf rather than the inner gel alone, with no added sugar, no preservatives, and no artificial ingredients, in a 32oz glass bottle.
What is whole leaf aloe juice?
Whole leaf aloe juice is made using the entire aloe leaf, including the outer rind, rather than only the clear gel inside. The juice is then filtered. Inner fillet aloe, by contrast, uses only the clear inner gel with the rind and latex layer removed. Both come from the same plant, and the difference is which part of the leaf goes into the bottle.
Which Lakewood aloe should you choose?
Lakewood makes three, all certified organic and all bottled in glass.
- Whole Leaf Aloe, this product, is made from the entire leaf and filtered. Two ingredients: organic whole leaf aloe vera and organic lemon juice.
- Inner Fillet Aloe is made from the clear inner gel only, at 99% aloe with 1% organic lemon juice. It is latex free and aloin free.
- Aloe Gel uses organic aloe with small amounts of xanthan gum and organic guar gum for a thicker, more gel-like body.

What does whole leaf aloe juice taste like?
Mild and clean, with a light vegetal character and a touch of brightness from the lemon. It isn’t sweet, and it’s far more neutral than most people expect. That mildness is why it mixes so easily into other drinks and works as a cooking ingredient.
What is in it?
Two ingredients: organic whole leaf aloe vera and organic lemon juice. That’s the complete list. There is no added sugar, no preservatives, and no artificial ingredients.
Is it certified organic?
Yes. The aloe is certified organic, grown to USDA organic farming standards without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Is it kosher?
Yes. Certified kosher by KOF-K.
Is it gluten-free and allergen-free?
It is gluten-free and free from the top nine FDA-listed major food allergens. It is also non-GMO.
What kind of bottle is it in?
Glass. Every Lakewood juice is bottled in glass rather than plastic, non-toxic and free from BPA, BPS, and DEHP.
Why does it settle in the bottle?
That’s the aloe itself. Natural juices settle, so give the bottle a gentle shake before serving. Refrigerate after opening and use within 2 weeks.
What can you make with it?
Its mild flavor makes it unusually versatile. Drink it chilled on its own or mixed with water, sparkling water, or a squeeze of lemon. Blend it into smoothies or stir it into herbal tea. In the kitchen it works as a base for dressings and marinades, as a light addition to gazpacho and other cold soups, and in fruit salads, sorbets, and gelatin desserts where you want a fresh note without sweetness.
What makes Lakewood different?
Lakewood has been pressing organic juice since 1935. Every bottle is glass, not plastic. The organic line is certified organic and made from whole produce pressed at the source.
