While I’m constantly on the lookout for new ingredients for BIOTONE products, I also depend on ones that have stood the test of time. Aloe Vera is among the tried and true. It’s been used for thousands of years. No wonder the Egyptians called it “the plant of immortality.” Ask any consumer, and you’ll probably find they rate Aloe Vera as a top treatment for sunburn because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
While it looks like a cactus because of its fleshy and thorny leaves, the plant is, in fact, a member of the Lily family. Like other succulents, it stays moist by closing its pores to prevent moisture loss. Slice open the lower part of the Aloe Vera leaf, and you find a gel that can be applied to the skin for several healing and moisturizing benefits.
I’ve always been enthusiastic about Aloe Vera because it provides a range of antioxidants, including beta carotene, vitamins C and E, to improve the skin’s firmness and keep it hydrated. As a result of its hydrating properties, Aloe Vera helps minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Among BIOTONE products, you’ll find Aloe Vera, a key ingredient in our original Dual Purpose Massage Creme, Clear Results Massage Oil, Deep Tissue Massage Lotion, Controlled Glide Massage Creme, and Polar Lotion, as well as in our Cocoa-Comfort, Herbal Select, and Marine Therapy Pedi product lines.
You can start treating your clients to Aloe Vera's benefits with our popular Rock & Sole Foot Massage. In this treatment, salts from the Dead Sea combined with Marine Extracts soothe and soften, followed by a moisturizing wrap of European Rose Mud. A hot stone massage revitalizes and renews.
