A beauty secret...
Widely cultivated in tropical regions, the use of aloe vera can be dated back to Ancient Egypt. It is said that Cleopatra attributed the secret of her legendary beauty to the plant. Research carried out on the gel obtained from the heart of the aloe vera leaf has revealed the presence of softening, moisturising, and regenerating compounds. Thanks to its high content of compound sugars (polysaccharides), which encourage water retention in the epidermis, aloe vera is traditionally highly prized for its moisturising and soothing benefits.
