Aloe Vera: Benefits In Skin & Hair Care

Aloe Vera: Benefits In Skin & Hair Care – Aloe Vera is extensively used in natural skincare products and for good reason. It’s got anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and the ability to help treat a variety of skin ailments.

The medical benefits of the Aloe Vera plant’s gel and juice were recognized in several cultures for millennia: Greece, Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China.

In the early 1800s, Aloe Vera was in use as a laxative in the United States. By the mid-1930s, Aloe Vera was successfully used to treat chronic and severe radiation dermatitis. (1)

Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Juice are extracted from the leaves of the Aloe Vera plant. An Aloe Vera leaf consists of two parts: the gel and the juice. The gel and the liquid share similar benefits and can both be used directly and safely on the skin. However, they are not identical substances and have distinct properties.

Aloe Vera Gel

The gel is the clear, odorless, mucilaginous, innermost portion of the leaf. It is the most prevalent form and use of the Aloe plant. It is largely composed of water. But, it also contains vitamins, a protein consisting of several amino acids, and organic and inorganic compounds.

Aloe Vera Juice

The juice, also known as “Aloe Latex,” is the yellow, strong-smelling, bitter-tasting sap that is found between the leaf’s green inner skin and the gel. This is the liquid that drips from the Aloe leaf when it is cut.

Aloe Vera in Skin & Hair Care

We formulate our products with Aloe Vera Juice which is not the juice (Latex) from the plant itself. It’s the juice derived from the plant’s gel.

The outer leaf rind is stripped way, and the Aloe Latex rinsed off. Then the inner fillets are de-pulped. As a result, a thin liquid is left, which contains the naturally-cloudy juice of the plant. Unfiltered, it retains all leaf fibers and particles, giving the juice a full-bodied, tangy, fresh aroma.

Used cosmetically, Aloe Vera Juice can hydrate, exfoliate, nourish, clarify, and revitalize the skin and hair. Furthermore, its antioxidant activity and richness in vitamins help it to repair skin and hair damage. Additionally, it protects them before and after the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Its smoothing quality helps to prevent and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. It’s ideal for “anti-aging” formulations as well as formulations for acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis.

It moisturizes without leaving skin or hair with a greasy residue, which makes it beneficial for oily skin. Additionally, Aloe Vera helps reduce fade tans and stretch marks.

When used in massage applications: Aloe Vera Juice soothes muscular aches, joint pain, inflammation, wounds, burns, frostbite, and infections. Additionally, it stimulates skin regeneration, enhance energy, and promote the development of muscles.
