BENEFITS
Aloe vera is a cactus plant and is part of the lily (Liliaceae) family. It is native to the dry climates of Africa and India and has been used medicinally for centuries. 

Aloe has 96–99% water content that is held in a natural ‘gel’ within the robust casing of the aloe leaves.  The gel is rich in bio-active substances including B-sisterole, which can help to slow and inhibit inflammation – making it beneficial for treating aching, stiff joints and improving flexibility.  Its ‘cooling’, anti-inflammatory property also makes it ideal for treating burns, especially sunburn, as well as soothing itching.  The aloe treats the epithelial (outer) level of skin cells that cover the body, acting as a protective layer and replenishing moisture.  Due to aloe’s nutritional and antioxidant properties, the skin heals more quickly.  The healing of the epithelial layer is beneficial for reducing stretch marks.

Aloe’s other active ingredients include sulphur, lupeol, salicylic acid, cinnamic acid, urea nitrogen and phenol, all of which are anti-microbial and form a ‘team’ against pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses that may cause infection on the skin.

The gel is also rich in vitamins, including A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6 and, rarely found in plants, B12.  The plethora of minerals includes: calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, sodium, iron, potassium, copper, manganese.

Further, aloe gel contains 18-20 amino acids (the building blocks of protein) out of the 22 that are necessary to the human body, as well as a range of fatty acids that includes capesterol, linoleic, linolenic, mysteric, oleic, palmitic and stearic.
