According to our Global Product Science and Safety team, aloe vera gel can serve many unique purposes depending on how it is processed.
On one hand, many companies use the gel to develop cosmetics and skincare products for external use. Others use the gel for producing refreshing drinks, juices, dietary supplements, and powders safe for consumption. You’ll find aloe incorporated into beverages and teas to support digestion and bowel health.
As a natural ingredient, the final composition of aloe vera may vary depending on the crop and growing factors, as well as manufacturing processes.
Why do companies use aloe for skincare?
Why do companies use aloe for food and supplements?
Aloe vera has a long history of use in botanical medicine throughout the world. Evidence of aloe’s medicinal use dates back more than 4,000 years:
Aloe vera gel, both as a topical gel and as an ingredient in skincare products, is useful for hydrating and cooling the skin, keeping it soft and supple.
Here are a few benefits of aloe gel for skincare
Aloe vera is a very gentle ingredient that also has natural antimicrobial properties. Using it to reduce and prevent mild to moderate flare-ups in combination with traditional anti-acne medication can be a great option for people with skin sensitivities.
The benefit of using aloe vera is that it is water-dense, so it’s a great ingredient to use in skincare products for dry, itchy skin. It keeps the skin hydrated and smooth.
Suppose you’ve ever had a minor burn from either a sunburn, cooking, or using a styling tool. You know that the first thing you want to do is apply something cool. Aloe vera gel can help create a better barrier while hydrating and cooling the skin. A great tip is to keep it in a gel form in the refrigerator for that extra cooling sensation.
Because of its light and versatile texture, you can use aloe vera gel to create your own hair masks, in addition to hydrating face masks which can cool flare-ups. Aloe vera is full of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, enzymes, and minerals that are beneficial to support skin health.
Facials can help restore parched-looking skin and help you feel refreshed. Getting a facial with aloe gel can leave your skin softer, smoother, and with a radiant glow.
Especially during the summer months, our hair tends to get a little drier. Aloe vera is a great ingredient to use on the hair. Look for products that have a non-drying formula and consist of silkening, moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera. It will leave your scalp feeling refreshed and your locks looking great.
When aloe gel is extracted, processed, and manufactured in a safe-to-consume, ingestible form, you may come across products such as aloe juice drinks or concentrated capsules of powdered aloe.
Many people take aloe vera juice as a supplement, and here are a few reasons why:
When consumed as a tonic for the digestive system, aloe juice can be used to soothe the stomach. In one independent trial*, aloe vera juice consumption was found to help relieve intestinal discomfort and inflammation. Other independent studies* suggest aloe may reduce gastric acid production.
As food makes its way through the 20-plus feet of the digestive tract, nutrients – including vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, carbohydrates – and water are absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream so they can be utilized by the body. These nutrients provide structure to the body – allowing us to grow and repair tissue – and provide energy for everyday activities.
In one independent study*, researchers tested the effects of aloe vera gel and whole leaf extract and the effect of these liquid preparations on the absorption and subsequent blood plasma concentration of vitamins C and E.
The trial found that aloe gel, acting as a time-release agent, slowed down the rate of absorption of vitamin C, keeping plasma levels elevated over a longer period of time when compared with controls. Both forms of aloe had a similar effect with regard to vitamin E.
Prebiotics are compounds in foods that encourage the growth of good bacteria in your digestive tract. Examples of foods rich in prebiotics include apples, bananas, garlic, and soybeans.
Recent scientific data suggest that compounds in aloe vera may be a beneficial prebiotic ingredient. According to one independent study*, acemannan, a polysaccharide present in aloe vera, may act as a prebiotic and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.
This change in microbiota composition is typically accompanied by an improvement in the immune system, by modulating immune response. The authors of New Perspectives on Aloe* associate this positive immune effect to the polysaccharides and other specific compounds present in aloe gel.
The antioxidants in aloe may help to bolster the body’s antioxidant defense system. Oxidation – a process that occurs in the body naturally as part of everyday metabolism – needs to be kept in check since oxidative stress can cause damage to body cells and tissues.
Antioxidants – widely found in plant foods like aloe vera, keep the processes of oxidation and antioxidation in balance. The polysaccharides and other compounds from aloe vera may also lead to positive protection against oxidative stress. In one independent study*, participants who drank aloe vera extract daily for 14 days saw an improvement in total antioxidant capacity measured in the plasma without any clinical side effects.
Aside from being a dietary supplement that provides digestive benefits, aloe juice – made by blending aloe vera gel with water – is also a beverage that can support your hydration needs. Hydration is important for our body and organs to function properly.
While most of your fluids should come from water, many people seek other beverages for a change. For that reason, sodas and high-calorie drinks often line the shelves of grocery and convenience stores. Aloe vera juice may be a good alternative but be sure to check the nutrition label for any added sugars.
While raw aloe can be used safely as a topical application, it should not be consumed.
The word “aloe” comes from Greek, which means bitter. Just below the rind of the aloe vera plant, there is a latex substance consisting of a heavy yellowish liquid residing between the leaf’s outer layer and the inner gel. This latex contains compounds known as aloins which are very bitter, act as a laxative, and should not be ingested.
To be safely consumed, scientists developed a purification process that removes the aloins from the aloe juice. This process is known as decolorization where the pressed juice – either from the whole leaf or the inner fillet – is passed through an activated charcoal filter to remove laxative components, such as aloins, to negligible levels.
Most aloe beverage and supplement companies use these processes in order to deliver the digestive benefits of aloe to consumers. At Herbalife Nutrition, we employ a comprehensive decolorization process and strict quality control measures to produce highly purified, premium-quality aloe vera leaf juice.
Today, consumers around the world can reap the benefits of aloe in many forms.
When looking for aloe-based cosmetics or skincare products, look for ones that are dermatologist-tested and sulfate-free. Look for an aloe gel product that is fragrance-free. If possible, ask for a sample or trial kit, so you can test the product before purchasing. The desired effect should leave the skin feeling smooth, soft, and with an improved appearance.
