The International Aloe Science Council is very pleased that you are involved in the Aloe Industry. Aloe has become an ingredent in literally thousands of products. We wish you well. IASC, as you probably know, is a non-profit industry organization. Our objective is to grow the industry and expand the use of Aloe in a wide range of product categories. We solicit membership, certify Aloe raw material and finished products with 15% or more Aloe as an ingredient. Being an IASC member places you in a very prestigious position. We hope that you will properly display your membership certificate that we supply you. Certifying your products would loudly proclaim that your products meet the scrutiny of IASC's certification standards. We are also well known as an organization that scientifically confirms the benefits of Aloe. IASC has been instrumental in moving Aloe from being an old well documented herb that helps in so many ways with antidotal home remedies that go back for thousands of years, to the modern well documented scientific arena. We annually conduct a scientific seminar to use as a platform to help tell the world about how great Aloe really is. We also work with regulatory agencies; publish an online magazine called “Inside Aloe” 6 to 8 times a year and much more. IASC has 21 board members which are elected by its members. We are in the process of adding new regional offices around the world to help promote Aloe as an ingredient and assist in attracting new members. We hope you will take advantage of all the services IASC provides.

What IASC does not do, is assist as a consultant. All members are greatly valued and we become involved after you have decided how you want to handle your business. IASC does have a list of qualified consultants that have an extensive background in the field of Aloe. If requested, we can supply you with this list. These consultants naturally charge for their services. You would reach an agreement with them in the event you decide to seek their professional assistance. They can assist you in starting or growing your business to growing Aloe and producing finished products. Just know it is better to do it right to begin with, than find out later that important elements were missed in your start up that would require expensive revamping. If you are a member, you can place ads in our “Inside Aloe ” magazine to tell your story to those you wish to do business with. This magazine is a great venue to tell the industry who you are and how you can be contacted. As a paid-up member, we can also provide you with a complete membership list that includes addresses, and contact information. Please let us know how IASC can be of service to you. May we send you our membership information and an application? Would you also like an application to certify products? We look forward to being of service to you. Best Regards,
