L'aloe vera : un ingrédient cosmétique riche en vitamines et minéraux

Aloe vera has been known for its many benefits for internal and external use and has been for millennia.

Its chemical composition is very rich in vitamins (A, B, C and E), minerals (zinc, copper, iron), sugars (glucose, cellulose), lipids and glycoproteins.

LET'S START WITH THE PRESENTATIONS

Aloe vera, or aloe barbadensis, are the botanical names for aloe, a plant native to the Middle East. Today, it is naturalized and cultivated in hot and dry regions of the globe.

Aloe produces two very different substances that should not be confused:

The latex found in the canals of the bark. It is yellow in color and has a very bitter taste.

Attention ! Latex can be irritating to the skin, mucous membranes, and some people can even be allergic to it.

The aloe vera gel located in the heart of the large leaves. It is mainly composed of water and is very rich in vitamins and minerals.

It is widely used in cosmetology and dermatology thanks to its emollient properties (that is to say, which softens and softens the tissues).

For centuries, aloe vera has been cultivated for its beneficial effects on our body. More than 6000 years ago, the Egyptians already used it to care for the skin, hair, gums and internal organs.

Its benefits and virtues are no longer to be proven! It is thus very often found in the composition of skin care.

HOW IS ALOE VERA USED?

BY EXTERNAL VOICE

1. TO MOISTURIZE THE SKIN:

The water content of aloe vera is between 98 and 99% of its weight. It is therefore the best ally of dry and dehydrated skin.

2. TO HELP THE SKIN REGENERATE:

Aloe vera has protective and healing properties. Consider aloe vera gel for 1st or 2nd degree burns or after long exposure to the sun.

The latter stimulates the regeneration of the epidermis and promotes microcirculation, which will instantly soothe the skin. You can also apply it all over your body, several times a day until the burn disappears.

3. TO KEEP THE SKIN YOUTHFUL:

The "plant of immortality": this is the name that the Egyptians gave to aloe vera. Already recognized at that time for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, it is said that Cleopatra herself used it in her daily care to preserve her youth.

4. TO REFINER SKIN TEXTURE:

Finally, it smoothes the skin texture and tightens pores.

At Demain®, all cosmetic products contain a high % of aloe vera as a water substitute.

Up to 60% of their composition for certain products!

5. TO TREAT ACNE:

Aloe vera is one of the most effective natural methods against acne.

It kills the bacteria responsible for pimples, helps prevent their appearance and limits their proliferation thanks to anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

Its healing and exfoliating actions also help stimulate skin repair after breakouts and fade acne scars.

It regulates sebum, which will improve skin texture and fight against the oily effect of acne-prone skin.

Note that it is non-comedogenic: it is therefore particularly suitable for combination and oily skin.

BY INTERNAL VOICE

Aloe vera contains 18 of the 22 amino acids present in the human body.

It is therefore very good for the body because it is rich in minerals and vitamins.

Thus, it improves digestive comfort, strengthens natural defenses and stimulates immune defenses thanks to its antioxidant properties. Aloe can be consumed every day, or as a cure, in the form of juice or gel and will help you:

1. PRESERVE YOUR YOUTH:

Its role as a natural antioxidant will fight against cell aging.

2. STAY HEALTHY:

Aloe vera is mainly composed of painkilling enzymes, natural sugars, glycoproteins and amino acids which are essential for cell renewal.

3. TREATING DIABETES:

Attention all diabetics! Aloe vera lowers blood glucose and hemoglobin levels.

Indeed, it will stimulate the production of insulin and compensate for the failure of the pancreas which can no longer produce it correctly.

SOME PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE

Before buying pure aloe vera, make sure it is certified by the IASC Label (International Aloe Science Council) which certifies:

Truth in product labeling.
The amount of aloe vera contained in the product
The purity of aloe vera
A certified source of Aole.

It can also be used in the preparation of medicines, cosmetics or as a food ingredient.

Be careful when handling fresh aloe leaves.

The outer part of the plant secretes latex which has a powerful laxative effect.

So take the time to remove all the external part and any presence of latex from the aloe leaves. It is therefore not recommended for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women to consume fresh aloe leaves, including gel.
