Aloe Vera For Skin Care
Nature’s Remedy for Skin Problems (and a Whole Lot More) 

Aloe Vera is a perennial, drought-resistant, succulent plant belonging to the Lily family which has been used for centuries to cure a variety of ailments. Research has shown that the active ingredients in aloe vera are found in both the gel and rind of the aloe vera leaves. These active ingredients have been shown to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Because of its reputation as "Nature’s Remedy for Skin Problems," Aloe Vera has been used in skin care cosmetics for many years. It has not been until recent, scientifically-controlled research has been performed that the effectiveness of aloe vera for combating a variety of skin problems been validated. The reason for aloe vera’s healing powers rests in the marvelous makeup of the aloe vera plant. Aloe Vera contains a variety of important vitamins, including Vitamins A, C, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and even B12. Aloe Vera also contains enzymes , including amylase, lipase, and caboxy-peptidase. This latter enzyme helps give aloe vera its anti-inflammatory qualities and makes its use invaluable in treating scraps, cuts, bruises, insect stings, and even more serious skin problems like chronic venous leg ulcers and burns.

Aloe Vera is replete with minerals, like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium, and iron. Some of these minerals help to inhibit allergic reactions by preventing the formation of histamine – a substance released in many allergic reactions that often causes intense itching and pain. Aloe Vera contains several different types of sugars which are beneficial to bolster the immune system. It also contains the substance "Lignin." This woody substance, inert by itself, enables aloe vera preparations with their amazing ability to carry other active ingredients, like the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes contained in the plant, deep into the skin to nourish the dermis. Perhaps most interesting, Aloe Vera also contains salicylic acid – an aspirin-like compound that possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities.
