Liquid Aloe Vera Uses and BenefitsPerhaps one of the most commonly known benefits of Aloe Vera Gel is its ability to sooth sunburned skin. Besides merely making it less of a painful experience, studies suggest that the polysaccharides it contains might protect against non-melanoma type skin cancers by targeting pathways activated by ultra violet radiation. Ultra violet radiation suppresses the body’s natural immune responses and causes premature aging. While not able to prevent sunburns, these polysaccharides help prevent the damage of the body’s natural immunities in the epidermis. Aloe Vera has also been shown to support the healing of first and second-degree burns and is approved by the FDA and often recommended by doctors for such use.Perhaps some of these qualities can be attributed to the fact that it absorbs into the skin almost four times faster than water – making it an excellent moisturizer and emollient. Its antimicrobial properties kill bacteria and its anti-inflammatory abilities make it a great solution for those with oily skin who may also suffer with acne, without leaving a greasy feel. The rapid stretching in skin causes small tears (commonly called “stretch marks”) that Aloe Vera gel can help heal and prevent.The History of Aloe VeraWith no known natural populations in the world, perhaps the origin of this succulent plant was the result of the ancient mating of two genetically distinct varieties. This is done frequently in modern times to create plants stronger than either one of the parents, and to isolate and enhance beneficial properties of both. Regardless of how it came about, it has become a pillar of health and beauty. Often grown as an ornamental decoration, its advantageous uses in skin care, cosmetics, and medicine are as impressive as the plant itself is lovely and hearty.As Baron Carl con Rokitansky was quoted in the English translation of the oldest known medical document known to exist (the Ebers Papyrus), “Those about to study Medicine, and the younger Physicians, should light their torches at the fires of the Ancients.” Obviously Rokitansky held ancient practitioners in the highest regard and knew the valuable lessons we could learn from their wisdom. The Ebers Papyrus, while written around 1,500 B.C. in ancient Egypt, is thought to be a collection of knowledge much, much older. Mentioned in this text, as well as Natural History (written by Pliny the Elder) that claims to include all of the ancient knowledge, Aloe Vera’s role in history should be taken seriously by the health conscious individual.Aloe Vera Powder Uses and BenefitsIncorporate the above-mentioned benefits in everything from your soap making to your lotions, shampoos, conditioners, lip balms, and massage oils. Simply mix the powder in during the liquid portion of your homemade creation. Easier to store and possessing a longer shelf life, its great for quick mixing with water to produce an Aloe Vera “juice” or gel. It contains vitamins C and B, and is commonly marketed as an internal health supplement. While scientists are yet to find definitive evidence of the efficacy of ingesting aloe, studies continue with high hopes. However the healing and antimicrobial properties have been proven beneficial, not only on the skin, but also when used as a natural toothpaste and mouthwash.The powder form provides a more economical way to package, transport and store for those looking to use bulk quantities. It also provides additional resourcefulness for the “do-it-yourselfer” simply looking to use what they make.As a Natural Health SupplementIn either form this product will bring value to you, or your customers lives.

I've read time and time again how Aloe Vera is so good for the skin in healing, maintaining moisture, and even managing conditions such as eczema and lichen planus. I wanted Aloe Vera in the oil form so that I could add it to my body butters and lotion bars. As soon as I received it (amazingly fast shipping, BTW) I opened it. There is no discernible smell to it. I applied some to my legs and arms. It is a wonderfully slippery oil and really thin, which is great when I need something to add to butters with a lot of hardness such as Kokum, Mango, or Shea butter. Before I went to bed last night I checked my arms and legs and they still felt smooth and moisturized... and I've got truly dry skin. This was my first purchase of a Dr. Adorable product and at the same time I purchased their 8 Oz Organic Evening Primrose OIL. I'm really impressed with not only the quality of the oils, but also their customer service. I had a question about the Evening Primrose Oil, shot them an email and they promptly responded answering my question in full. I'll update later on the benefits I get from this oil once I've had a chance to use it more consistently, but I can already tell this a quality product.

There is NO SUCH THING as Aloe Vera OIL. For those confused, a simple google search of "aloe vera oil" will inform you of that."Aloe Vera oil is the oil that is obtained from Aloe Vera plant by the process of maceration in some carrier oil. It is not 100 % aloe vera, but a kind of infused oil. The most commonly used carrier oil is soybean oil, although other oils like almond oil or olive oil may also be used. This oil is mostly made up of the carrier oil and some essence of aloe vera. Aloe Vera oil provides brilliant health benefits for the skin, just like the aloe vera gel. Since it is turned into oil, this product has a longer shelf life and can be used even when fresh Aloe Vera plant is not available. Aloe Vera oil is good for treating skin wounds and for scalp conditioning.""The method used to extract this oil is maceration. In this process, the herbal gel is mixed with oil at higher temperature. The oil soaks up nutrients from Aloe Vera gel. After some time, it is filtered to remove out the plant components. This oil extraction technique is used for many herbal oils."Based on the other review from someone who had contacted "Dr. Adorable, INC" the carrier oil for this particular product is Almond Oil (a good thing). I can see why they would be surprised, because for those who didn't know about aloe vera oil, this info isn't stated at all in the description. And it should be, if not at least to inform customers what carrier oil is used. If it were soybean oil, I wouldn't have bought it. Sweet Almond Oil is awesome stuff though.Product is great so far, and I've bought a lot of things from Dr. Adorable with no problems. Packaged well, and socks into skin super fast and is very moisturizing while still feeling light/airy/silky. :)

Whether its bug bites, or burns, great to use for home made skin care products and the like.
