Aloe vera
Cosmetics
Aloe vera is one of the most recognised plants of natural medicine, valued for millennia for its regenerative, detoxifying and supportive effects. Its juicy leaves contain a wide range of effective active substances that contribute to healthy digestion, support of the immune system and overall vitality.
ALOE VERA – A PLANT, A MIRACLE OR BOTH?
The Aloe vera plant is one of the longest-used medicinal plants in the world. Its origin dates back to the regions of Africa and the Canary Islands, from where it has spread throughout the world thanks to its extraordinary properties. Already in ancient Egypt, it was depicted on the walls of tombs and considered a symbol of vitality, protection and longevity. In various cultures, it has been nicknamed “the silent healer”, “desert lily” or “elixir of longevity”.
- The plant produces thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette.
- The inner clear gel part of the leaf is a source of valuable bioactive substances.
- This inner gel is used to produce food supplements.
- The gel is made up of more than 99% water, yet it contains a number of active ingredients.
- It is necessary to distinguish between the clear gel and the yellow latex under the leaf skin.
- The gel is intended for internal use and undergoes gentle purification.
- The latex contains anthraquinones with a laxative effect.
- Latex is not suitable for long-term consumption.
- Food supplements use a stabilised and purified gel without latex components.

Aloe vera is one of the most valuable plants in cosmetics and skin care, with a history dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was called the "plant of immortality" and was part of Queen Cleopatra`s cosmetic routine. Thanks to its unique properties, it has been used for millennia to treat and protect the skin.
