FSS Aloe Extract SNO

Aloe is said to have wound healing properties and is commonly used to treat the skin, our body’s largest organ. The plant is reputed for the medicinal properties associated with the sap found within its leaves. This sap, a thick, mucilaginous gel, which is 93-96% water is made up of a variety of amino acids, including a high concentration of alanine. The predom­inant properties of aloe are a result of the activity of amino acids on the skin. The cuticle, which covers all parts of the plant, is able to absorb moisture easily while preventing its rapid evaporation. If a leaf becomes separated from the parent plant, it can be laid in the sun for weeks without becoming fully desiccated. Even when dried out from heat exposure, it will, if submerged in water, become plump and fresh in a few hours. This succulent plant is able to hold substantial amounts of water in its leaves, and is capable of thriving in regions where rainfall is low.
