The magic formula of this aloe vera plant is in the juicy and translucent gel found in its big green leaves. At first glance, it may look like a cactus plant, but it’s much more different than that.

Aloe Vera contains over 200 components including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharide, and fatty acids- no wonder it’s used for such a wide range of remedies.

Aloe Vera leaf is filled with a clear gel-like substance, which is approximately 99% water. It can be grown anywhere, even in a simple pot on your balcony.
