General Info:
Aloe Vera is a succulent, perennial plant with little or no stem, reaching only two or three feet tall at maturity. Its thick, fleshy leaves are a dusky green, spotted with white in some varieties. The leaves are edged with a serration of small whitish "teeth" and are filled with a translucent gel. In the summertime, clusters of small yellow or orange flowers are produced on tall spikes from the Aloe Vera plant. It looks like a member of the cactus family, but it is actually a desert relative of the lily. This plant has been cultivated throughout the world, and is often grown for ornamental purposes. It grows well in arid climates and may be native to the southern half of the Arabian Peninsula, Northern Africa, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde.
Nutrients & Applications:
Succulent Aloe Vera leaves contain just a small amount of solids, but in these leaves are found a vast array of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial ingredients such as enzymes, sugars, acemannan, anthraquinones, phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, gibberellin, and salycilic acid, in addition to 19 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids. Aloe Vera is rich in vitamin C and germanium. Aloe Vera also improves the absorption and bio-availability of vitamins B12, C, and E. Aloe Vera is used in many products, from makeup to moisturizer, soap to sunscreen, and various foods. All of the ingredients in Aloe Vera are combined and balanced perfectly in nature to provide a soothing tonic for the body's systems.*
