Aloe Vera

 

Aloe vera has been used for a host of purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality. It originates from the Arabian Peninsula. Aloe leaves secrete a clear gel that when broken off from the rest of the plant can be applied topically to heal wounds and soothe skin, in fact those succulent-like leaves are home to more than 75 different active compounds, including vitamins, minerals, sugars, enzymes, salicylic acids, and amino acids. Aloe also contains enzymes that are believed to help stimulate the production of collagen. It also may help prevent sun damage by blocking free radicals from damaging the skin's surface. All of these extraordinary constituents have been shown to provide a wide array of benefits for our skin. 

Our organic Aloe Vera is harvested at the peak of liveliness. We partner with a women owned farm that responsibly cultivate our plants to make sure our Aloe Vera is always fresh, pure and of superior quality.

Skin Benefits: Aloe Vera helps with sunburn through its powerful healing activity at the epithelial level of the skin, a layer of cells that cover the body. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture. Because of its nutritional qualities and antioxidant properties, the skin heals quicker.
