Aloe vera, also known as Aloe barbadensis, is a succulent plant originating from the Arabian Peninsula. Thanks to its water-retaining properties, it can survive even in extremely arid climates characterised by low natural rainfall. Aloe vera is widely cultivated across the world, from Australia to Mexico, for agricultural, medicinal, dietary and cosmetic uses. As a cosmetic ingredient, it is found in skin lotions and other products designed to soothe the skin.
Aloe is valued for its potent regenerative and bactericidal properties. It is also a rich source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients. Thanks to containing allantoin, it stimulates skin renewal and slows down the ageing process. In addition, aloe improves microcirculation in the skin, has a strong hydrating effect, and helps the skin to retain moisture.
Using aloe vera powder for skin care helps to restore the skin after stress, boosts its firmness and elasticity, has a lifting effect, soothes irritated skin, prevents inflammation, and helps to provide epidermal cells with nutrients and oxygen.
As a hair care product, aloe vera powder nourishes hair follicles and thus reduces hair loss and improves hair growth, normalises the hydro-lipid balance in the scalp, and helps to restore the natural strength and shine of the hair. This powder is especially beneficial for weak, dull and dry hair.
Directions. Mix 1 tsp powder with warm water to get a smooth paste. Apply to your skin or hair. Leave for 15–20 minutes, rinse with warm water. Follow up with skin toner and moisturiser.
