Cosmetics with aloe

There are only two things that aloe cannot do – smooth out wrinkles and lighten pigmentation. In all other respects, this miracle plant has no equal. We understand what its extract does in the composition of creams, serums, tonics and other beauty products.

Aloe in cosmetics

The uniqueness of this plant lies in its diverse biological activity, from healing wounds to fighting bacteria. It has been established that aloe is as safe as possible and is suitable even for people with reactive skin, as well as those prone to allergies.

Our body perceives aloe juice as a pleasant and safe ingredient due to the presence of some substances related to human skin.

More than 200 components were found in aloe juice, among which there are vitamins and minerals, amino acids and enzymes.

But especially cosmetologists appreciate the presence of polysaccharides: they give an excellent moisturizing effect. The polysaccharide film attracts water molecules and at the same time prevents the evaporation of already existing moisture.

Aloe extract moisturizes the skin and allows it to breathe.
