Aloe Vera was used for centuries for its health and beauty benefits in Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China. In ancient Egypt, formerly known as "Kemet", aloe vera was called "the plant of immortality".
Aloe Vera is composed of 75 active constituents : Among them, you can find vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, fatty acids, antioxidants, lignin, saponins, antiseptic agents (such as salicylic acid) and amino acids.
VITAMINS : A, C, E, B12, folic acid (B9), choline.
ENZYMES : alliase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce inflammation and the other enzymes help to break down sugars and fatty acids.
MINERALS : calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. Minerals are very important for the proper functioning of enzymes; some of them are antioxidants.
SUGARS : monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and mannose-6-phosphate) and polysaccharides (glucomannans and polymannoses).
FATTY ACIDS : cholesterol, campesterol, beta-sisosterol et lupeol (steroides). They all have anti-inflammatory properties and lupeol has antiseptic and analgesic properties.
HORMONES : auxines et gibberellines : anti-inflammatory, help wound healing.
AMINO ACIDS : 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids for humans and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids.
ANTISEPTIC AGENTS : lupeol, salicylic acid, nitrogen urea, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. Inhibit molds, bacteria and viruses.
Lignin is an inert substance that increases the penetration of the other actives into the skin. Saponins are soapy substances with cleaning and antiseptic properties.
Aloe Vera Gel has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-aging, anti-acne, hydrating and protecting properties on the skin
