Today, we’re taking a look at Aloe Vera in K-Beauty products and why you’ll find this plant extract in so many beloved Korean skincare products.
What Is Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera herb is a succulent that belongs to Asphodelaceae family. It’s found all over the world and has been used for centuries to aid in the treatment of burns and scars.
It contains almost 20 vitamins, including A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C & E, 8 different proteins and has both antioxidant and cleansing properties.
Aloe Vera has moisturising and emollient properties that make it perfect for inclusion in makeup and skincare products.
Due its high content of natural vitamins, Aloe Vera works well to relieve stress, rehydrate, and soften the skin’s outer layer. In addition, it helps protect skin from the sun’s harsh UV rays.
Aloe Vera is often used to treat a range of different skin issues.
