Aloe Vera: the miracle plant for your skin

L'Aloe Vera : la plante miracle pour votre peau - D.Crouzet

A plant with a thousand virtues

Aloe vera (or Aloe barbadensis miller) is a succulent plant native to the Arabian Peninsula, cultivated for millennia for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. Its large fleshy leaves contain a transparent gel of exceptional richness: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and polysaccharides.

Used for over 6,000 years by Egyptians, Greco-Romans, and people of Asia, it was nicknamed the "plant of immortality" by pharaohs and the "silent doctor" by people of Central America.

The benefits of Aloe Vera for the skin

  • Moisturizing: the gel quickly penetrates the superficial layers of the skin and helps maintain its hydration level
  • Soothing: soothes irritations, sunburns, and sensitive or reactive skin
  • Refreshing: immediate cooling effect, ideal after sun exposure
  • Softening: helps to smooth and soften the skin daily
  • Purifying: helps to balance combination and acne-prone skin

Our Aloe Vera products

For the curious 🌵

The Aloe vera leaf is composed of three layers: a green protective outer skin, a middle layer of bitter yellow latex (used with caution), and a transparent gel core — it is this pure gel that we use in our formulations.

The gel contains over 75 active compounds including vitamins A, C, E, and B12, folic acid, choline, enzymes, minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc), and polysaccharides like acemannan, known for its soothing properties.

Aloe vera is one of the most studied plants in the world in cosmetics and phytotherapy. Its cultivation requires little water, making it an ecological and sustainable plant.

Nature has provided everything. We have bottled it.
