ALOE VERA - ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE (powder) • Shigeta

More than being good for morale, the sun has always been beneficial for the body. The sun allows the synthesis of vitamin D, which is necessary for the fixation of calcium on the bones and can even improve certain skin diseases. However, everyone knows overexposure to the sun can be dangerous for health. Indeed, sun exposure accelerates the premature aging of the skin and promotes the appearance of cancers.

Sunburn is one indicator of sun exposure. It appears after prolonged exposure, but can also appear without overexposure in the case of the lightest phototypes. Sunburn can even occur within minutes if the skin is not sufficiently protected. Its appearance is due to the inflammation of the skin, itself caused by the UVB rays of the sun. Like burns, the skin becomes red and painful, and the redness can persist for several days.

Cosmetics brands are using aloe vera in cosmetics for its moisturizing properties. Indeed, aloe vera is well-known for its efficiency in overexposure to the sun. Its soothing properties allow reducing the inflammatory and irritating effects of UV rays. Its sap is ideal for hydrating and soothing irritated skin. Moreover, the film-forming properties of its gel allow water retention that maintains the skin’s moisture level.
