“Queen of medicinal plants”, “miracle cure of nature”, “plant of immortality” – all names associated with the Aloe Vera plant.
The first records of the plant's juice are around 6000 years old, and it is said that Cleopatra – the ultimate beauty queen – already used the precious elixir for her beauty routine.
Aloe vera gel is one of the main ingredients. our biomembrane masks – and not without reason.
But what is so special about our aloe?
First, we use the so-called Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller, by far the richest of its kind. Its high acemannan (also known as aloverose) content far surpasses that of its relatives.
The higher the acemannan content, the higher the density and quality of the active ingredients in the plant.
Conventional cosmetic products usually contain aloe from North or South America, which is not only very harmful to the environment due to the long transport routes, but also results in low quality.
American manufacturers advertise that their plants contain 700-800 mg of acemannan per liter. We counter this with the statement that our Mediterranean aloe has an unparalleled value of approximately 1700 mg/l.
What is the reason for this? Scientists suspect that the many sunny days, the rich Mallorcan soil, but also the colder days in winter, against which the plant has to defend itself, result in the plant having to strengthen itself from within and thus producing more aloverose.
What is aloverose (acemannan) actually good for?
Aloverose is produced by the plant to protect itself from bacteria and viruses. The same thing happens when it's applied to the skin! The essential oils contained in the active ingredient have an anti-inflammatory effect, while glycosides and saponins act as antiseptics and cleansing agents.
Countless vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium penetrate even deep layers of the skin through the lignin (a plant molecule) contained in the juice.
Furthermore, using aloe vera gel accelerates cell division in the skin. For this reason, aloe vera gel is also a popular ingredient in medicine.
All of this makes the plant a true miracle cure for impurities, acne, swelling, dry skin and wrinkles.
Through careful hand harvesting, quick and gentle processing, and the avoidance of pesticides, we can guarantee that our biomembrane masks produced with the best Aloe Vera gel currently available on the market.
