Our skin can obtain aqua moisture from its valuable clean
jell which consists of numerous nutrients. Aloe Vera
contains useful substances such as Glycoprotein - Aloctine A
and Aloctine B - which is effective in reducing infection
from wounds such as burns, and providing treatment for sun
burn. This nutrient can also reduce the side effects caused
from treatments like x-ray or radio therapy. It was found
that the substance called Aloin contained a quality that can
absorb UV but anti Tyrosine enzyme under our skin surface.
If too much of this enzyme is produced, it causes dark spots
to appear on our skin. Aloe Vera can treat these problems.
Dandruff, hair falling out
Furthermore, Aloe Vera mixed in our hair treatment shampoo
can reduce and stop dandruff and loss of hair. It also
conditions and moisturizes the scalp, leaving hair shiny.

Aloe Vera can also reduce and solve stomach problems and
damage to the digestive tube.>
