Used in skincare for thousands of years
Aloe vera has been used in skincare for thousands of years. The gel from inside the leaf of Aloe barbadensis Miller is around 99 % water and also contains polysaccharides such as acemannan, as well as amino acids. Our serum contains 99.6 % organic aloe vera juice from Andalusia, with no added water.

What is in aloe juice?
Three things that define aloe vera in skincare.

Complex sugars such as acemannan give the leaf gel its slightly slippery texture and can bind water.
Water

No thickeners
The serum contains no gelling agents, so it is runnier than classic aloe gel.

The solid body butter is made from six raw materials. What each does in the formula, why there is no water in it, where the scent comes from and how tin, refill and travel size belong together.
