AAloe Vera Extract
The Aloe Vera plant belongs to the Lily family, although it looks like a succulent. There are over 240 different species of Aloe, growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America. Aloe Barbadensis Miller (used in its organic version in our products) has been recognized as having the highest health benefits. Aloe Vera Extract has been used externally to treat various skin conditions such as cuts, burns and eczema. It is alleged that sap from Aloe vera eases pain and reduces inflammation. A study performed in the 1990s showed that the healing time of a moderate to severe burn was reduced when the wound was treated on a regular basis with Aloe vera gel, compared to the healing of the wound covered in a gauze bandage (Farrar, 2005). Aloe Vera Extract has excellent antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties. It is also soothing, calming and moisturizing.
