Aloe Vera and Natural Cosmetics
Caring for the skin of the body, and especially the face, is one of the factors of greatest concern to the population. Therefore, and for the sake of our health, taking care of our skin is essential, as it is a very clear reflection of our internal health.
However, the skin is a very sensitive organ, which can be damaged by a multitude of external factors, such as the sun or pollution, among others.
We need to ensure our skin is well hydrated and nourished, in addition to taking care of our diet and our emotions. To care for our skin from the outside in, we can turn to a wide variety of cosmetic products.
Natural and organic cosmetics are increasingly in demand for their effectiveness and environmental friendliness. These types of cosmetics, made from plant-based ingredients, are a key resource for skin care.
Creams or tonics from certified natural cosmetic brands should always contain organic aloe vera juice.
Origin of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera, a plant belonging to the Asphodelaceae family, is one of the 350 species of aloe known in the world.
These plants are cultivated in countries with warm climates, primarily in desert or semi-desert areas, as this is where the climate is most suitable for their growth. Cultivation has increased in southern Spain .
We always buy aloe juice from Spain, specifically from Andalusia.
If we refer to its appearance: it is a group of leaves, which emerge from a trunk from which, once or twice a year, a stem with yellow flowers grows.
Plants of this species have been used since ancient times in the traditional medicine of many countries and civilizations.
There are many studies that support that pure organic aloe vera juice is a powerful cell regenerator and a fantastic regulator of the immune system .
Great, but do we know what that means?
Aloe Vera, a great cell regenerator
Aloe vera is a plant known for its many dermatological benefits, including its rejuvenating , anti-aging , whitening, antioxidant, and regenerative properties for damaged skin cells. For all these reasons, it is used in the formulation of high-quality natural cosmetics. 
In this post we detail some of its main uses and properties:
- It promotes healing and regeneration, given its high vitamin and amino acid content.
- It is useful for any type of skin (even the most sensitive), which is why it is known as “the miracle plant” .
- One of its most popular uses is to treat skin irritation after waxing, as it provides freshness and regeneration.
- Treats acne by regenerating tissues from the inside out, and absorbing excess oil.
- Aloe is one of the best regenerators of damaged skin, due to the allantoin it contains, which is why it is widely used to combat and improve the appearance of stretch marks.
- Some experts claim that it is also effective in reducing the effects of cellulite, as it cleanses the skin and thus eliminates toxins that can aggravate it.
- Its refreshing power relieves the itching of insect bites.
- Its high collagen and elastin content makes our skin look smoother, which is why it is considered an anti-aging product.
Cosmetic Aloe Vera juice to regenerate the skin
Aloe vera can appear in two forms in cosmetic products. Let's look at the differences, as it is vitally important to understand its qualities:
- Aloe vera extract: This is the lowest quality, and you'll see it listed as Aloe barbadensis leaf extract. This ingredient is made by drying the plant at high temperatures. Once the pulp is dry, it's ground into powder .
To make a cream, aloe vera powder is mixed with water to rehydrate. In this case, the aloe loses most of its minerals and trace elements , and therefore, it also loses its regenerative power to improve the skin's appearance. That's why we don't use it, instead preferring the next best option.
- Aloe vera juice: This is the highest quality, and you'll see it listed as Aloe barbadensis leaf juice. This ingredient is made by cold-pressing and extracting the pulp , so it retains all of its properties , which are essential for healthy, fresh, and balanced skin.
For this reason , all our creams include pure aloe vera juice , and are also organic and pesticide-free, to take care of you and the planet.
Tips for identifying the quality of cosmetic aloe vera
On the other hand, as with almost all natural products, the quality and effectiveness of Aloe depends on its composition, which varies depending on the plant's life cycle when used, as well as the climatic conditions to which the plant is subjected.
For this reason, it is very important to use products in which the quality of the aloe is guaranteed with an eco seal . We are certified by Bio.inspecta , under the BioVidasana “EcoPlus” standard, as this ensures that the plant has been cared for from its cultivation to its use, to maintain all of its beneficial qualities for the skin.
Aloe Vera Natural Skin Regenerator
Since we started formulating, we were clear that we had to include aloe vera juice in the products, and provide its main active ingredients:
- great cell regenerator
- healing
- moisturizer (prevents skin dehydration)
- antiseptic and astringent (daily use refines pores )
That's why many of our most popular products are made with this plant.
For example:
- With the Fresh Flower Tonic facial tonic, you will feel a refreshing and calming sensation with each application of our product, made with aloe vera juice , rose hydrolate, immortelle extract and lemon essential oil, a combination that regenerates, soothes, hydrates and balances the skin's pH, leaving it ready to receive the active ingredients and increase their absorption.
-
Skin Repair Body Butter , a restorative and nourishing daily cream , will leave your skin hydrated, soft, and wonderfully silky. It was also awarded "Best Body Butter 2020" by the Organic Clean Awards .
- The serum from the anti-aging Illuminating Antiox Serum line penetrates deeply, visibly perfecting our skin, making it look younger and more radiant every day.
We continue to share our knowledge to give you the tools you need to choose products from the best natural and organic cosmetic brands. We know there's a lot of confusion and sometimes unclear information, so we hope you enjoyed it, and as always, we hope to see you on our social media.
