Aloe Vera Oil
Aloe vera oil is 100% pure, natural oil. It is obtained from the Aloe Vera plant through the process of maceration in a suitable carrier - soybean oil. It contains over 75 useful substances: amino acids, enzymes, minerals, saponins, sterols, sugar (starch), lectins and vitamins. It is an excellent emollient. It makes the skin soft and smooth. It has a good nourishing and revitalizing effect, just like aloe vera gel.
Compared to the gel, the oil has a longer shelf life and can be used even when fresh Aloe Vera plant is not available. Aloe Vera oil is soluble in cosmetic esters and other oils, insoluble in water.
