Aloe vera, and the Aloe barbadensis Miller in particular, is one of the best-known plants in natural cosmetics. This variety is considered especially rich in nutrients and bioactive plant compounds. Its gel, obtained from the inner leaf tissue, has been valued for skincare for centuries.
What makes the gel so special? It’s the roughly 200 different components whose harmonious interplay makes aloe vera such a valuable companion for skincare.
Aloe vera contains an impressive range of vitamins:
Aloe vera stores water in its leaves to survive in its dry environment. That very property benefits your skin: the gel provides long-lasting moisture and helps the skin to retain it.
Aloe vera supplies a range of minerals and trace elements that are valued in skincare:
Aloe vera contains natural enzymes that can contribute to a calm, balanced skin feel – especially pleasant for stressed skin.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Aloe vera contains most of the essential amino acids, including:
A particularly valuable component of the aloe vera gel are the polysaccharides, known for their moisture-binding property. The main polysaccharide is acemannan. These sugars help the skin to retain moisture and support a supple, well-cared-for complexion.
Aloe vera contains saponins, natural plant compounds valued in skincare for a clean, well-cared-for skin feel.
Aloe vera also contains salicylic acid in low concentration – an active valued in cosmetics for a clear, smooth complexion.
Aloe vera also contains natural plant compounds such as aloin and emodin, which contribute to the plant’s characteristic profile.
Lignins are natural substances that help the aloe vera’s other ingredients be absorbed evenly by the skin. They ensure the caring ingredients are taken up effectively, so they can work where they’re needed.
These plant compounds help support the skin barrier and contribute to soothing irritated, dry skin.
Aloe vera also contains plant sterols such as campesterol and ß-sitosterol, which soothe the skin and contribute to a balanced skin feel.
What makes aloe vera so special is the harmonious interplay of these components. Polysaccharides, enzymes and amino acids support a supple, well-cared-for complexion, while vitamins and minerals provide the skin with valuable nutrients.
Aloe vera (Barbadensis Miller) is far more than a simple moisturiser. The roughly 200 components of the inner-leaf gel work together on many levels, making it a particularly high-quality, natural caring ingredient for the skin. From vitamins through enzymes to polysaccharides – aloe vera is a natural source of valuable caring substances.
That’s exactly why the pure inner-leaf gel is at the heart of our products – natural and of high quality.
