27 Jul Amazing Advantages of Aloe

The indigenous aloe plant really is one of Africa’s green gems; this spiky succulent is just loaded with more than 200 vitamins, minerals and enzymes, making it a head-to-toe healing gift from nature. Whether you use it as a skin care treatment or enjoy it in your favourite refreshing drinks, aloe is truly amazing. The most commonly used aloe species are aloe vera and aloe ferox; you’ll find plenty of healing goodies at our online store made with both these ingredients.

Here’s a look at just what makes aloe so incredible:

• Contains over 200 active components (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes)
• High in iron, potassium, manganese, zinc & selenium
• One of the few plants that contains vitamin B12
• Approx. 90% water; extremely hydrating
• Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory
• Promotes collagen & elastin production; repairs & rejuvenates skin

Aloe on the Outside

There’s a reason aloe is the key ingredient in so many moisturisers and after-sun lotions. It’s an ultra-soothing and cooling plant that helps to repair dry and damaged skin cells. This means it provides amazing hydration and nourishment for sunburned skin. Applied topically, aloe vera and aloe ferox treatments help to treat:

• Sunburn & minor burns
• Scars, stretch marks & wrinkles
• Dryness, eczema & psoriasis
• Bruising & blisters
• Acne breakouts & blemishes
• Athlete’s foot
• Insect bites & rashes
