Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Extract and its benefits for the body

Aloe Vera has been used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes for over 5000 years. It has been reported to be used by ancient Egyptians, who called it “the plant of immortality” due to its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. Cleopatra used to apply it daily on her skin and called it “the elixir of immortality”, establishing its anti-ageing benefits.

The benefits of Aloe Vera are surprisingly extensive & multi-spectrum! A simple homegrown plant with excellent benefits for your skin & body like Aloe Vera is a rarity:

• Anti-inflammatory: It contains compounds called anthraquinones that reduce swelling caused due to pimples, giving your skin a less puffy appearance.  
• Soothing & sun protection: These compounds also alleviate pain or burns, instantly soothing your skin. It can also protect against UV damage by creating a protective barrier over your skin. This is why Aloe Vera has been used to treat sunburns and other injuries for years. 
• Healing & anti-bacterial: Aloe Vera is full of antibacterial compounds, which can effectively treat antibacterial infections and soothe the skin simultaneously. 
• Cell regeneration & delays ageing: Anthraquinones and other compounds like antioxidants also promote cell renewal and repair. This makes Aloe Vera great for quick healing of injuries. Not just skin cells, Anthraquinones also stimulate the growth of scalp cells, making aloe vera an excellent hair fall remedy. 
• Hydrating & helping retain natural moisture: Aloe Vera is rich in many enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, and phytosterols. These compounds act as humectants, meaning they pull and retain moisture. This hydrates and nourishes your dry skin and boosts the elasticity of the collagen fibers in your skin, effectively reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
• Cleansing & detoxifying the skin: The mixed bag of compounds in Aloe Vera, especially the enzymes, is very effective in cleansing your body of unwanted impurities. When used as a drink, they can exfoliate the skin and detoxify your digestive system. 

Vilasa’s Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Extract is bundled with Aloe Vera's goodness in its most potent form. Aloe Vera does just great as a stand-alone ingredient. However, pair it with other natural ingredients, and you have multipurpose formulations that soothe and nourish.
