Description and Purpose: Historically, a major use of aloe Vera was to soothe minor skin irritations. Many households kept a live aloe, or ‘burn plant’ for first-aid use. Essentially identical to the aloe Vera’s inner leaf, our 100% stabilised aloe Vera gel lubricates sensitive tissue safely. Specially prepared for topical application to moisturise, soothe and condition, Aloe Vera Gelly is a thick, translucent gel containing humectants and moisturisers. Readily absorbed by the skin, it soothes without staining clothes.
Aloe Vera Gelly soothes minor skin irritations and soreness. It can also be used on the skin prior to ultrasonic treatment, or after electrolysis. Hairdressers use the Gelly around the hair line before perming and colouring.
From your bathroom cabinet to the first-aid kit, and from the kitchen to the campsite – Aloe Vera Gelly is an ideal companion for skin that needs a little extra care.

101 Uses for Aloe
Aloe vera already has a well known place in many homes. “It’s a common practice to have a potted aloe plant as a ready and helpful remedy for a myriad of everyday uses, such as for cuts, burns, injuries, etc.,” said Gene Hale, executive director of the Irving, Texas-based International Aloe Science Council (IASC). Although there is a long-standing practice of using the plant as a digestive aid and skin care ingredient, until the mid-20th century use was based primarily on anecdotal evidence. In the 1930s, a woman with a skin radiation burn benefited from a topical application of aloe vera gel; the positive result encouraged trials with others suffering from radiation burns.1 In 1953, evidence of the plant’s wound-healing benefits became scientifically recognized when a study found it successfully treated radiation lesions in rats.2
However, there is great potential beyond topical application. “Aloe has broader potential as a ‘super’ nutrient for a range of health conditions, such as immune system modulation, anti-diabetic activity/ blood sugar balance, kidney stone prevention, oral/gum health, anti-inflammatory for joint comfort, cholesterol/triglyceride reduction, and antioxidant protection and detoxification,” Apps said. Studies have shown aloe vera may help normalize blood sugar, stimulate the body’s antioxidant defences and increase the bioavailability of antioxidant supplements. Aloe’s hypoglycemic and antioxidant benefits also benefit the liver and heart.
In one trial, researchers evaluated the anti-hyperglycemic effect of aloe vera gel and five isolated phytosterols.3 After administration of the five phytosterols to healthy adults for 28 days, fasting blood glucose levels decreased by up to 64 percent compared to control levels. The findings suggest aloe vera gel and its phytosterols have a long-term blood glucose control effect and would be useful for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Another study determined the presence of several hypoglycemically-active elements in the gel when processed into ash.4 The researchers suggested the presence of various inorganic trace elements in the gel may account for the hypoglycemic nature of the plant. Animal studies have also provided supporting evidence for the antidiabetic activity of aloe vera. One study involved oral administration of aloe vera gel extract at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight per day to diabetic rats for 21 days.5 Treatment significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, hepatic transaminases, plasma and tissue cholestrol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and phospholipids, and significantly improved plasma insulin. Further animal research from Kyung Hee University in Korea demonstrated the antioxidant and cholesterol lowering effects of aloe vera.6
Researchers randomly assigned rats to one of four groups: control; 1-percent freeze-dried aloe filet; 1- percent charcoal-processed, freeze-dried aloe filet; or charcoal-processed, freeze-dried whole leaf aloe in drinking water. Life-long intake of aloe had superior antioxidant action in vivo, as indicated by reduced levels of hepatic phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide. Additional antioxidant action was shown by enhanced superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in the 1-percent aloe groups. Researchers also noted liver cholesterol increased significantly in the control group during aging compared to the aloe groups, which showed 30-percent lower cholesterol levels than the control animals.
For digestive health, aloe has been shown to relieve the symptoms of ulcerative colitis, a type of irritable bowel disease (IBD). A recent study showed 47 percent of participants who took aloe reported an improvement in IBD symptoms, compared with only 14 percent of those given placebo.7
Further, aloe vera appears to increase absorption of vitamins E and C by slowing their assimilation and prolonging their concentrations in blood plasma.8 Researchers found aloe vera increased levels of vitamins C and E in the bloodstream by more than 200 percent when consumed together. The study also concluded aloe vera enhanced the bioavailability of both water- and fat-soluble vitamins, and has a natural time release effect on vitamin absorption.
“No other matrix is known to increase the bioavailability of both water and fat soluble vitamins,” Jones said. “The bioavailability research has created a landmark event and major turning point for the functional food and nutraceutical industry as these companies realize the benefits of incorporating aloe into their products containing vitamins C and E. By adding aloe vera to these and other supplement products, we are delivering to discerning consumers highly synergistic and superior products that allow them to gain maximum benefits from their supplements.” Hale added, “This effect on absorption promises to make aloe more prevalent in energy bars, drinks and other functional foods.”
