Aloe vera is an all-purpose beauty catalyst. Due to its composition of vitamins like vitamin A, C and E (antioxidants), B12, folic acid and choline; minerals like calcium, chlorine, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and zinc; organic acids like citric, isocitric, malic and lactic acids; and other substances like enzymes, steroids and salicylic acid; aloe vera lives up to this title.

Skin: Aloe vera is 98% water content, enabling it to hydrate, moisturise and soothe skin. It also encourages the development of collagen, which provides strength and elasticity to the skin, therefore, maintaining its youthfulness. Aloe vera’s antioxidant content can repair damage caused by the Sun’s UV radiation, helping slow down ageing. Its antifungal and antibacterial properties can help treat fungal and bacterial infections, while its anti-inflammatory properties can calm the aftermath of injuries like pain, swelling and/or soreness. Lastly, it has a cooling effect on skin upon application, which can help treat burns, sunburns and even rashes. Aloe vera also prevents burns from getting infected. It is suitable for application over dry skin, as it is intensely hydrating, and oily skin, as it absorbs quickly.

Hair: Because of the anti-inflammatory qualities of aloe vera, it can resolve the inflammation left on the scalp left in the wake of dandruff. Aloe vera can also effectively get rid of excess sebum from oily scalps as well. This is because it contains enzymes that break down fats, thus, ridding the hair of any excess oils. It cleanses the scalp of impurities gently and maintains the natural strength of your hair throughout this process. The constitution of vitamins A, C and E within aloe vera can help in new cell development, leading to healthier hair follicles and thus, lesser hair fall. Lastly, aloe vera’s antioxidant constitution can help fight oxidative stressors like UV radiation.
