Extra-Special Ingredient No6 – Fresh, cold-pressed, unpasteurised Aloe Vera gel! We love our Aloe Vera, and use healthy amounts of it in most of our living skincare. Although it is 96% water, the remaining 4% contains over 200 phytochemicals, and it is the synergistic way in which all the nutritional components work that give Aloe Vera it’s incredible healing, nutritional and skincare properties. In brief, it contains 20 amino acids, 10 enzymes, 10 minerals, mono and poly saccharides (such as the immune-stimulating gluco-mannans), salicylic acid, saponins, sterols, 9+ vitamins… and more! Aloe has potent anti-inflammatory properties and is renowned for healing sunburn, wounds and radiation burns. Its complex wealth of antioxidants assist with collagen production, and it is also particularly useful for those prone to dry skin and eczema. Interestingly, studies in 2002 discovered that anti-oxidant vitamins such as C and E are up to 350 times more bioavailable when taken with Aloe Vera gel compared to water. Now that’s what I call an Extra-Special Ingredient!
