Aloe Vera is an essential natural skincare ingredient that was officially listed as a skin protectant by the US Pharmacopoeia in 1820, and has been used as a natural, non-toxic skincare remedy for everything from burns to frostbite, psoriasis, scalp irritations, cold sores, inflammation and even fungal and bacterial infections. It's cooling and soothing, antifungal and antimicrobial, supports skin regeneration and calms irritation in all skin types and ages. With over 75 active natural compounds in the plant, it's nutrient rich, anti-inflammatory, hydrating, softening and plumping. No wonder it is found in so many skincare and make up formulas!
