Effects of Alcare Aloe products on the skin

Effects of Alcare Aloe products on the skin!

The skin is made up of two distinct layers: The epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer). New cells from the bottom layer of the epidermis constantly replace the cells of the epidermis. The upper cells are shed as the new cells are pushed upwards from the bottom.

The quicker this process takes place, the quicker the skin is rejuvenated and regenerated.

The dermis is found just under the epidermis. The blood vessels carrying nutrients to the skin are found in the dermis. Blood and lymph (tissue fluids) are responsible for nourishing the skin. As the blood and lymph circulate through the skin they transport the necessary nutrients for the growth, nutrition and the repair, hair and nails.

Research has shown that aloe gel, which is the base of Alcare Aloe products, has a dilatory effect on the capillaries and the veins. This results in an increase of the amount of nutrients being transported. With more nutrients available for growth, nutrition and repair, the process of rejuvenation and regeneration can occur more rapidly.

The growth rate of cells is dependent on the amount of African Cape Aloe gel used - the higher the concentration of gel, the higher the growth rate of the skin cells. It has exceptional ability to penetrate the layers of the skin down to the dermis and lower tissue.

Why Aloe Ferox ?

Monday, 13 June, 2011

Aloe in skin care- a perspective.

Our quest for wellness and beauty has taken us far and wide. What this journey has taught us is to value the extraordinary potency of plants humans have relied on through the ages.

Aloe Ferox is nature's ultimate healer and rejuvenator. It is indigenous to South Africa and unique in the concentration of its active ingredients and the versatility of its application.

Aloe Ferox is particularly well suited for skincare. It is rich in polysaccharides and other plant metabolites, amino acids and minerals.It contributes to soft and smooth skin that is hydrated, nourished and rejuvenated. Independent tests have shown its superior amino acid content in comparison to other aloe species.

African Cape Aloe(Aloe Ferox) is among the tallest of the more than 400 aloe species and is native to southeastern and western regions of South Africa. Compared to the more widely used Aloe Vera, Aloe Ferox has 20 times more bitter sap and has higher nutrient concentrations.

Two distinct parts of the aloe plant are used medicinally. Firstly the aloe exudate (bitter sap) and secondly the mucilaginous gel from the remainder of the leaf. The aloe bitter is best known for its use as a laxative. However in the addition to the purgative effect the anthraquinone (bitter) substance is also an antioxidant, antiviral and effective for cancer prevention.

Aloe ferox well-earned reputation!

Aloe ferox well-earned reputation.

A proud sentinel along the roads and rivers of the Hessequa, the entrance to the Garden Route near Albertinia, the robust Aloe ferox has thicker leaves than it’s famous cousin. These are covered in short and stubby thorns to protect it from herbivores and harbour the valuable gel and bitter sap that are harvested.

Aloe ferox plants grown in this area in particular have been proven to have 36% more total amino acids in its gel and 20 times more of the bitter sap containing the beneficial substance aloin than Aloe vera. Local specimens have the highest aloin content in the country - and therefore the world - at up to 28% of the bitter sap. In contrast, Aloe vera contains very little bitter sap and therefore very small amounts of aloin. For years, the bitter sap has been harvested and exported to Europe and Asia for inclusion in a range of products.

In 1967, a surgeon on Prof Chris Barnard’s first heart transplant team noted how the application of Aloe ferox gel to wounds accelerated the reproduction of the cells responsible for the formation of collagen, which is vital for skin strength and elasticity.
