ALOE VERA JUICE, 100 % PURE, WITHOUT PRESERVATIVES, CERTIFIED ORGANIC

Only the pure, undiluted juice of fresh plant leaves from controlled organic farms is used for Santaverde Aloe Vera Juice. It contains more than 160 vital substances in a natural compound.

By means of organic farming, removal of the external peel by hand, and gentle processing, the natural active ingredient complex of these harvest-fresh leaves is optimally preserved.

GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT THIS EXTRAORDINARY PLANT

Because of its similar appearance, aloe vera is often categorized in the cactus family; however, it actually belongs to the liliacea family. It grows in Africa, Central and South America, in the southern states of the US, and in Mediterranean areas with hot, dry summers and mild winters.

As a rule, the plant reaches a height of 60-90 cm. It takes four or five years before the active ingredients in the leaves becomes fully developed. Aloe vera juice is extracted from these fleshy, prickly leaves.

If you scratch a leaf of the aloe vera or cut into it with a knife, you can see how quickly the plant "heals" itself. First a bit of juice runs out of the injured place; a few minutes later, this stabilizes itself into a skin, and after a little while this skin has solidified to the point that the "injury" is as good as gone.

It is also amazing that the plant, months after it has been taken out of the ground, can still live. And it can survive long periods of drought unscathed.

ALOE VERA, THE WONDER PLANT OF THE ANCIENTS

Even thousands of years ago, this type of lily was known for its moisturizing, healing and grooming properties. Aloe vera was considered a symbol of immortality. Beauty-conscious women such as Nefertiti and Cleopatra protected and maintained their legendary beauty despite the merciless Egyptian sun with the pure juice of the aloe vera plant.

ALOE VERA -- STILL A CONCEPT

• Today we know that no other plant contains more regenerative vital ingredients such as vitamins A, B, C, and E, many minerals, amino acids, enzymes and valuable polysaccharides.

• Over 160 (!) active ingredients in aloe vera become one single nutritional supplement for the regeneration of the human body when taken internally. In adddition, pure aloe vera juice, as it is or in cosmetic products, stimulates natural cell regeneration, metabolism, and capillary blood circulation of the skin. In this way the plant also works externally to groom, protect, and regenerate.

THE EFFECTS OF ALOE VERA IN COSMETIC USE AND AS A NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT

Countless researchers around the world have worked with identifying and analyzing the many ingredients of the aloe vera plant. The inimitable, synergistic effect of these substances in their totality remains however one of nature's secrets.

Of over 300 known varieties of aloe, the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (aloe vera) displays a particularly high content of active ingredients and is proven to have the best effect on skin and organisms. It is rich in vitamins, mineral substances, enzymes, essential and non-essential fatty acids, mono- and polysaccharides, anthraquinones, amino acids, lignins and saponins.

In cosmetics, there are hardly any comparable active ingredient complexes as that of the aloe vera plant. Scientific studies and first-hand experiences have proven its special grooming properties. Voluminous literature shows the following uses of aloe vera:

• protects and tautens the skin
• provides moisture and binds moisture in the skin
• improves skin metabolism and absorption of oxygen
• stimulates capillary blood circulation and makes skin smooth
• soothes irritated skin
• acts as an astringent and antibiotic (large pores, acne)
• activates natural cell renewal (regeneration)

Pure Aloe Vera Juice and Aloe Vera Concentrate:

It's no wonder then that more and more cosmetic products declare aloe vera as an active ingredient.
However, because of high transportation costs, pure aloe vera juice from southern cultivations is not often used. A dried substance concentrated by 10-200 is imported instead which is reconstituted with water.

That of course has a negative effect on its quality and thus its effectiveness, because during the concentration process, many fragile substances essential to the complete effect of the aloe vera can be destroyed. For this reason it is advisable to inform oneself about the origin, processing and ingredients of the plant juice.
