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.
