Organic Native Aloe Vera Gel

Active ingredients in native aloe vera juice:

• Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, E, choline...

• MINERALS (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, chlorine, manganese, magnesium,

• CCopper, chromium, zinc... ). Aloe vera juice contains more than 20 minerals that are essential for the proper functioning of the skin's various enzyme systems.

• Enzymes including bradykinase: an anti-pain, healing enzyme that relieves inflammation. Its action is enhanced by the presence of silicic acid.

• Sugars (mannose-6-phosphate and acemannan), including aloeverose (1200 mg/L guaranteed in the native juice used): moisturizing, emollient, and immune system-boosting action. Sugars are able to retain large amounts of water (moisturizing effect), making the skin smooth and elastic and reducing wrinkles.

• Glycoproteins and amino acids (phenylalanine, leucine, lysine, etc.): Aloe contains 18 of the 22 amino acids found in the human body, including 7 of the 8 essential amino acids. They are involved in the regeneration of skin tissue (multiplication of keratinocytes and fibroblasts).

• Lectin: promotes healing.

• Saponins: cleansing and antiseptic.

• Lignin: promotes skin penetration of the plant's active ingredients.

• Every day, new studies reveal the existence of new compounds with remarkable properties: for example, the following have recently been isolated:

  • Aloetin and aloesin: antiseptic action

  • Aloelucine: activates cell regeneration and accelerates the healing of ulcers

Ingredients: Aloe barbadensis leaf juice*, Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, Aqua, Xanthan gum, Arginine (*Ingredients proceeding from Organic Farming).
