What is Aloe Vera? Definition and origin

Aloe Vera, scientifically called Aloe barbadensis Miller, is a succulent plant belonging to the Asphodelaceae family.

Used for more than 4000 years in traditional medicine, it was already recognized by the Egyptian, Greek and Chinese civilizations for its curative virtues.

Aloe Vera gel stands out for its fresh texture and its ability to quickly penetrate the skin.
Its unique composition gives it moisturizing, soothing and regenerating properties particularly appreciated in women's cosmetics.
