FROM GARDEN TO SKINCARE Soothe and smooth

In ancient times, aloe vera was called the “plant of immortality”. A true wonder of nature, this spiky succulent has a variety of uses, from treating acne scars and burns to reducing stretch marks, as well as moisturising, nourishing and soothing skin.

Apply aloe vera gel (the clear, bitter, jelly-like substance inside the leaf) directly onto the skin as a healing salve or combine it with other ingredients to make unique skin-soothing recipes.
