Aloe Vera, the skin care hero that’s been used for millennia to soothe, heal and hydrate sun blushed, uncomfortable skin. Mmm. This deeply replenishing plant was famously relied upon by Egyptian Queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra as a beauty aid, as well as by Alexander the Great and Christopher Columbus, who used it to treat soldiers wounds.
With such high-end celebrity endorsements, it’s no surprise that Aloe Vera has become a staple ingredient in many a skincare product across the realm, ours very much included.
Here’s why we love it so so much, particularly on those extra sunny days.
