of producing the Aloe vera extract. A supercritical fluid extraction
method can produce an Aloe vera extract containing a mixture that
consists of a cyclolanostane compound and a lophenol compound in an
amount of 1.0% by mass or more and having the following properties (1)
and/or (2): (1) the mass mixing ratio of the cyclolanostane compound and
lophenol compound is as follows: cyclolanostane compound: lophenol
compound=6.3:2.7 to 5.1:4.9; and/or (2) the content of an
