OK, so we all know how great aloe is for nicks and scrapes and we often hear about products that are infused with it, but just what makes aloe so great?
Known as the "wonder plant," aloe vera has been used for centuries. Considered the "plant of immortality" by ancient Egyptians, aloe packs a powerhouse of benefits with over 500 species! This plant can help prevent cavities, moisturize skin, heal burns, psoriasis, abrasions, act as an anti-biotic, and is even said to help with certain forms of depression. Is there anything this stuff can't help cure? Looking to add a little aloe to your skincare regime? Try the Aloe Source.
The Aloe Source is a great way to get your dose of this natural emollient. The unique skincare brand recently announced the launch of a new stabilized aloe vera-based line for your inner health and outer beauty. The beauty brand has an exclusive partnership with a farm that harvests organically grown aloe without using herbicides and pesticides, utilizing a special process to maintain the effectiveness of the amazing aloe plant.
It turns out that aloe loses much of its potency just after 5 hours. So through a patented process, The Aloe Source suspends aloe in its most powerful state to deliver you the full impact of this beauty super ingredient with each daily use. This patented process also removes aloin and aloe emodin, which are known toxins that the plant produces to defend itself in nature.
The paraben-free line contains twenty products for face care and body care, plus an aloe vera juice drink so you can experience the full benefits of stabilized aloe vera products both internally and externally. How cool is that?
The face care products combine stabilized aloe vera with other effective ingredients, such as peptides, vitamin C and plant stem cells, which are designed to treat a variety of skin concerns for all skin types. The body line consists of skin-nourishing indulgences, like Pomegranate Body Wash, Açaí & Avocado Body Lavish and Nourishing Aloe Soufflé, to name a few. The comprehensive line of products ranges from $12.00 to $52.00, with an average price point of about $26.00.
Our personal favorite? We're loving the Luminosity Mask. Not only does this daily mask leave skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated, but the packaging is something we haven't come across. The gel masque lightly coats the skin, so you will have no problem adding this to your daily skincare routine at the end of the day. The formula contains pineapple and papaya enzymes to exfoliate, and aloe vera to soothe skin. We love that you just simply press down onto the cylinder, and out pumps a healthy dose of the mask to use, preventing a contamination of the rest of the formula. It's a definite must try at $32.
In addition to the benefits that aloe offers when applied topically to the skin, there are also internal benefits. Drinking aloe vera juice has been shown to aid in digestion, boost the immune system, help heal ulcers and problems with acid reflux ,as well as help reduce inflammation, which is great for people who suffer from arthritis. Talk about an effective ingredient!
"Aloe is known for its healing and soothing properties, but can be used for so much more," said Allison Kusenberger, co-founders of The Aloe Source. "Many unknown benefits of aloe are that it helps fight acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation which can break down collagen and elastin in the skin and speeds up skin's natural healing process."
