Oily Skin? No Problem!
Aloe vera is a great moisturizer, even for people with oily skin. It has the ability to moisturize and nourish skin without leaving a sticky or greasy feeling.
Great for Men Too
Our Aloe Gel Base can be used as an aftershave. The healing properties of aloe will aid with any minor cuts or irritation caused by shaving.
After-Sun Treatment
When applied to the skin, Aloe forms a protective layer that helps retain and replenish moisture. The vitamins and antioxidant qualities of Aloe Vera allow your skin to heal from sunburns at a faster rate.
Great for Skin Ailments
Studies have shown that Aloe Vera Gel is effective at treating ailments such as flaky or dry skin, dandruff and skin sores.
VITAMINS
Aloe Vera is packed with the antioxidant Vitamins C and E. Although Vitamin A isn't directly sourced, it is converted by the body from the beta-carotene content found in the Aloe Vera. The vitamins will help improve skin elasticity which will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as lessen the visibility of stretch marks
PLANT HORMONES
Plants cannot benefit from human hormones, however, plant hormones can be utilized by humans; Laboratory finding are revealing a plethora of ways humans can benefit from plant hormones. The plant growth hormones Auxin and Gibberellins are present in Aloe. Auxin reduces skin inflammation while Gibberellins promotes the growth of new cells. This synergistic combination allows for the production of new skin all while minimizing residual scarring from acne, blisters and stretchmarks.
Usage
Can be used as an all over body moisturizer. You can use our Aloe Vera Gel to thin any of our Lotion or Cream Bases without having to add additional preservative.
Fragrance Load
For facial use a 0.3% load is suggested. For body use, adding up to 1% load is suggested. If you desire a clear product, you may have to premix your fragrance and/or actives with Polysorbate 20 or a fragrance emulsifier.
Additives
Mix slowly when adding ingredients to avoid incorporating air. It is best to gently fold in additional ingredients with a spatula.
