Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe juice is known to penetrate the skin four times faster than water and has soothing and calming properties.

Aloe Vera contains 75 potential active ingredients: vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic acids and amino acids. It also contains vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and E, which are antioxidants, and vitamin B12, folic acid and choline.

The Egyptians called Aloe Vera "the plant of immortality" and the Indians called Aloe Vera "wands of heaven" because of their miraculous medicinal properties.
