Aloes have a long history of being used throughout Africa in skin and health care. South African San and Khoi rock art records the use of Aloes in everyday life as do Egyptian hieroglyphics. When paired with phytochemistry and the latest in skin care advances, Aloe extracts can provide remarkable skin care benefits. Not all Aloe extracts are the same, for example, Aloe Ferox in particular yields higher benefits than Aloe Vera.
What is Aloe Ferox?
The Aloe Ferox contained in Aloe Unique products comes from Aloes indigenous to South Africa, commonly known as the Cape Aloe. It grows into a majestic single stem tall evergreen that has thick fleshy leaves and yellow or red flowers. Aloe Ferox is the bitter sap containing Aloin which is extracted from just under the inner leaf of the Aloe Plant. In contrast, Aloe Vera is extracted throughout the leaf and the essential aloin as well as amino acids are therefore less concentrated than in Aloe Ferox extracts.
Why is Aloe Ferox Better than Aloe Vera?
The key skin care benefiting Aloe extracts are Amino Acids and Aloin. Aloe Ferox is 20 times higher in bitter sap containing Aloin and has twice the number of amino acids than Aloe Vera does. Thus, the ability to stimulate regeneration of cells necessary for healing and repairing skin tissue, is greatly enhanced when Aloe Ferox extracts are used in skin care products.
How does Aloe Ferox work?
Aloe Ferox is known as a hero ingredient in skin care because of its high concentration of essential elements. Due to its inherent properties, it is able to work simultaneously on different skin layers while delivering faster results.
5 Advantages of Aloe Ferox
1. It has a dilatory effect on capillaries and veins. This enables an increased number of nutrients to be transported, which results in faster and better rejuvenation and regeneration of skin tissue
2. It contains high concentrations of Aloin which increases the growth rate of cells thereby making healing processes faster.
3. It stimulates normal lymphocytes and possesses enzymes which cause the growth of new cells.
4. It penetrates through the Stratum Corneum to the vascular dermal area, thereby better hydrating the skin.
5. It forms a seal within skin layers that helps to prevent moisture loss while maximizing skin hydration
