WHY DO WE PUT ALOE VERA IN OUR PRODUCTS?

You may have heard of aloe vera as a remedy for sunburn. But how can aloe leaf extract benefit your skin when applied daily?  

But first, where does this ingredient even come from? Aloe vera extract is derived from a green succulent that has leaves filled with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. These substances form a gel with the water stored in the stem of the plant. Its anti-inflammatory properties are why this gel is commonly used for soothing burns.

WHY ALOE VERA?

Aloe contains Vitamins A, C, D, and E, meaning this ingredient acts as a nutrient-booster to your skin which strengthens its natural barrier. When your skin is nourished, it will be more efficient at preventing breakouts, keeping itself hydrated, and minimizing the effects of damage from UV rays, chemicals, and other pollutants. 

Lastly, aloe vera extract is an excellent moisturizer.  That’s why we included aloe leaf extract in our Luminosity Eye Serum, Dewy Day Cream, and Restorative Night Cream. Aloe vera absorbs into your skin quickly and then traps moisture, while also providing cool relief to cracked, dry skin. To reap the benefits of one of our favorite ingredients, try our Moisture Set! Your skin will be saying “aloe you vera much 😉”
