About Aloe Vera Oil

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant with waxy leaves which look like thick stalks. These leaves contain gel, commonly used for various beneficial effects on the skin and also as a diet supplement. Aloe Vera oil does not occur naturally, but it is made from Aloe Vera plant substances mixed with an oil.

Function

• Aloe Vera gel is typically used for treating sunburn. People also use it for wound healing, scar prevention, burn healing, and reducing skin inflammation and itching.

Identification

• Aloe Vera oil is made by infusing it with an oil like soybean, safflower or almond.

Massage

• This oil is beneficial for using in massage, because it can be included as a carrier oil with other massage oil or in aromatherapy massage. A carrier oil helps essential oils penetrate the skin.

Baths

• Aloe Vera oil can be mixed with essential oils or fragrance oils to make a relaxing and skin-softening bath oil.

Soap

• Aloe Vera oil also can be included in ingredients for hand-made soaps by replacing some of the water with this oil.
