For more than 3,500 years, aloe vera, a spiny succulent member of the lily family, has earned its reputation as the "medicine plant". This plant is mentioned in the Bible as well as Egyptian history, in reference to how it was believed to exhibit amazing healing powers.

Modern day researchers have found aloe vera to be a natural and diverse source of antibiotic, coagulating agent, pain and scar inhibitor, an astringent and a growth stimulator. Aloe's unique properties come from the following primary components, which scientists have identified as:

Polysaccharides

Responsible for aloe's remarkable penetrating and lubricating abilities.

Enzymes

Utilized by our bodies to process nutrients into food. Aloe has ten enzymes.

Minerals

Including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium chloride, iron, zinc, manganese, copper and chromium.

Amino Acids

Aloe contains eight amino acids that the body cannot replace.

Proteins

Amino acids bond together to form these organic compounds which are essential to the growth and repair of tissue.

Vitamins

Including A, B1, B2, choline, inositol, niacin, folic acid, C and E.

Our products contain only stabilized aloe, which has been organically grown.

When used in skin care products, aloe vera offers a unique quality - it aids penetration. It goes into the skin at the water-retaining level, distributing nutrients where they can best be utilized. Since aloe is a natural oxygenator, it helps skin attract and hold oxygen. When skin is holding oxygen, it is holding moisture, which is the most significant function of a skin care system. Tightening, toning, smoothing and balancing the moisture content of your skin makes aloe vera a vital beauty ingredient.
