Aloe Vera, Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a plant found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The juice of the plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is also a popular ingredient in Korean cosmetics.

Effect on the skin
Aloe contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which are important for skin health. Aloe vera gel provides a lot of moisture and improves skin elasticity, soothes and relieves inflammation. Therefore, it is very helpful for sunburn and red, irritated skin. In the regions where aloe vera is native, the juice of a freshly cut aloe vera plant is traditionally used.

Other advantages
Aloe Vera is often used in hair and body care products to soften and shine hair and nourish skin. In oral care products, it is used to soothe the oral mucosa and relieve inflammation. In various studies, aloe vera has also been shown to reduce plaque and bleeding gums.

Use in Korean cosmetic products
Due to its nourishing and soothing effects, aloe vera is a popular ingredient in products for irritated or sensitive skin. Because aloe vera gel is cooling, soothing and anti-inflammatory, this ingredient is found in many sun care products, especially after-sun products to soothe skin that is stressed and irritated by the sun and salt water.

Natural or artificial ingredient
Aloe vera is a natural ingredient extracted from the aloe vera plant by peeling the leaves and extracting the juice. The juice is then usually filtered and pasteurized to remove impurities and microorganisms. The juice can then be used directly or processed into a slightly thicker gel.

Are there any known harmful side effects or other disadvantages for the skin?

In general, aloe vera is considered safe and well tolerated. However, if you have very sensitive skin, are prone to allergies, are taking certain medications, or if you have known pre-existing conditions, it is generally recommended that you first consult with a dermatologist. A patch test on a non-sensitive skin area, for example on the back of the hand, can also help to rule out possible intolerances.
