The leaf of the Aloe Vera plant is able to store moisture, a process which has been perfected over thousands of years of evolution. As a result, we use Aloe Vera juice, which we have produced ourselves, instead of water, as the chief ingredient in all Santaverde Natural Cosmetics. This juice contains an abundance of natural active ingredients, such as unique polysaccharides, essential amino acids, enzymes, mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants, which are particularly valuable and effective at taking care of the skin.
