Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that produces two substances: latex (yellow sap) and gel (clear mucilage extracted from its leaves), each with distinct uses.
The latex
The dried latex is a stimulant laxative that requires caution as it can be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes if used improperly. If you experience constipation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

The gel
When used orally, the gel is known for its highly emollient properties (softening and soothing the tissues).

Aloe Vera contains a multitude of ingredients such as:

– Vitamins A, B, C, and E, minerals (including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc…).

– Amino acids, fibers, enzymes, antioxidants…

And the list goes on… Each of these components has a beneficial effect on our body.

This plant with countless virtues, composed of 99% water, is ideal for sensitive and delicate skin. Used daily, Aloe Vera hydrates dry skin, helps soothe irritations, and promotes the regeneration of damaged skin.

This plant is recognized for its strong moisturizing power, but it doesn’t provide nourishment by itself. That’s why we find it in the composition of most nourishing and moisturizing creams for the face and body, as well as in hair products for hydration purposes.

In cosmetics and dermatology, only the gel is used externally. It is a complete care for the skin and also for the hair, as it is recognized as:

• Hydrating: it provides water to the skin and hair.

• Soothing: it calms sensitized and irritated skin and scalp.

• Softening: it helps to make the skin soft.

• Healing and reparative: it contains several components (glycoproteins and polysaccharides) that activate cellular regeneration, accelerate healing, and reduce inflammation.” By applying this gel to a small wound, the moisture level is maintained to improve healing, resulting in a less visible scar at the end of the process.

• Antifungal: it has virtues that help purify the skin.

A true treasure for sensitive, dry, or problematic skin!

Thus, Aloe Vera is excellent for treating small wounds, mild burns (sunburns), or for combating certain skin infections such as acne, psoriasis, herpes, and more.
