Aloe soothes, moisturises and conditions so is useful for many applications on the skin, it is also a great carrier for added ingredients that can be taken deep into the skin where they can work their magic! Aloe with Propolis cream is a great example where we want to create a natural deep down soothing and protective barrier. This also works for other processes, so for example, a warming Heat Lotion where we want the warming ingredients to penetrate more deeply, the Aloe helps to carry the warming sensation deep into aching muscles and makes a great massage medium.
In short, using a good quality Aloe skin product we will see it absorb rather than create the greasy film seen with some skin products.
It’s also worth remembering that our skin extends to our insides too where Aloe can also help maintain healthy skin and tissue quality with both topical products and drinks.
