Aloe Barbadensis Description

​

Aloe barbadenis (also known as aloe vera) is a commonly used plant extract that has soothing properties, antioxidant qualities, and serves as a hydrating agent for skin due to its polysaccharide and sterol content.

​

In pure form straight from the leaves, aloe’s benefits for skin include its lack of occlusion and the refreshing sensation it provides (hence, why it’s in common “after sun” products).

​

Note: Some brands use aloe in place of water in their products, but aloe is actually 99.5% water.

​

Barbadensis Miller is a botanical moisturizer, skin protectant, humectant. A member of the South African aloe plant leaf, usually a juice, containing water, amino acids and carbohydrates, used as a moisturizer, stabilizer, and light tonic for the skin. It penetrates deep into the tissue bringing its nourishing, healing benefits to the deepest cellular layers of the skin.

​

Aloe Barbadensis Miller contains anti-inflammatory agents so reduces pain when used topically as a treatment for Arthritis, radiation burns, skin ulcers, burns, dermatitis, and other skin injuries and conditions. Aloe has been shown to heal burns and skin injuries at least one-third faster than alternative treatments and to reduce typical healing times from 30-45 days to 15-20 days in 2nd and 3rd degree radiation and fire burns, frostbite, cuts, and blisters.

​

Findings indicate that the use of Aloe overall greatly improves skin texture, eliminates dryness, itching, eczema, psoriasis, neuro-dermititis, and other skin diseases, regenerated skin cells helping to eliminated scarring and promote regeneration of natural skin color. It also has anti-microbial properties killing a broad spectrum of micro-organisms that cause infection.
