In our herbal skincare
and beauty products (herballyradiant), we use aloe (botanical name: Aloe Barbadensis) extensively
because of its excellent healing and regenerating properties. Aloe gel is the
clear, jelly-like substance extracted from the inner part of the aloe plant
leaf. Aloe is also used in medicinal
products. Here we can just go through its application and efficacy in beauty
products.
The chemicals in aloe
gel are able to increase circulation in the tiny blood vessels in the skin, and
kill bacteria. Application of aloe promotes healthier skin, strengthens immune
system of skin cells. It can hydrate through three epidermal layers of the
skin. Thus, it provides the benefit of driving nutrients and other constituents
into the deeper layers of the skin, which promote epidermal health. The changes
in the skin as a result of application of aloe might even help skin disorder
like psoriasis.
Aloe is an indispensable
part of any herbal dispensary. It has antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral
compounds that help prevent wound infections and speed heeling up process. It
also has immune-stimulating and anti-inflammatory compounds, and it stimulates
collagen synthesis and skin regeneration after sun damage or burn. It is also
rich in vitamins C and E, besides minerals like zinc.
Among specific uses and benefits of aloe, we find
that it :
i)provides hydration to the skin,
ii)promotes healthy, refreshed and attractive
appearance,
iii)reduces appearance of damaged skin,
iv)protects skin from prolonged exposure to sun and
other external pollutants,
v)strengthens and regenerates healthy skin cells,
preventing premature aging of skin, reduces appearance of lines and wrinkles,
vi)effectively improves skin damaged due to acne or
due to other skin disorders.
(Consumers must bear in mind the fact that
aloe-based products (like face creams, lotions, cleansers) in most of the retail outlets contain less
than 1%-10% aloe vera. However, it has been reported after studies that a
minimum of 30% concentration of aloe is essential to derive optimum benefits
out of it.)
Aloe butter is a proprietary cosmetic “butter”
developed exclusively for cosmetic purposes. It is an extract of aloe vera in a
coconut fatty fraction. It is solid at room temperature, but melts on the skin.
