Aloe vera is a cactus-looking succulent plant that has been traditionally used as a medicinal plant due to the multiple benefits it can provide, such as treating sunburn and healing wounds. Also known as the 'plant of immortality', aloe vera is a resilient plant that has the ability to live without soil.
Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, aloe vera possess great hydrating and soothing properties, therefore it is a key ingredient found in many make up and skin care products.
Another well-known benefit of aloe vera is its ability to soothe digestion issues.

Also, they contain enzymes to breakdown sugar and fats, therefore lowering one's risk of indigestion.
