Aloe Vera - cosmetic effect
The most often used in cosmetics is yellowish, transparent aloe juice with a pH of 4.0-5.0. In cosmetics, its concentration varies from the level of a small additive at the level of 5%, to the practically pure content of aloe, i.e. 100%. Aloe vera in cosmetics has an immunostimulating effect, i.e. it is able to strengthen the resistance of the epidermis to all harmful external factors. This reduces the risk of irritation and allergies. Thanks to it, the lipoid layers of the epidermis are also rebuilt, i.e. its natural protection against the environment, as well as a way to reduce the amount of water evaporating from the epidermis.

Aloe vera can be used on worn, burnt, defrosted or otherwise damaged by mechanical factors. Aloe vera can also be treated as a long-term solution to skin ageing processes.
