BioChem™️ 100% Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a succulent plant whose leaves contain a clear gel rich in water, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for skin healing, soothing, and hydration.
In skincare, aloe vera gel is used both in pure form and as an ingredient in creams, gels, and masks.

FDA Cautions & Safety

• FDA Status:

  • Aloe vera in topical form is considered a cosmetic ingredient; no prescription needed.

  • Aloe latex (the yellow sap from the leaf) is a laxative and not used in skincare due to irritation potential.

• Potential Side Effects:

  • Rare allergic reactions, particularly in those sensitive to plants in the Liliaceae family.

• Cautions:

  • Look for products with high aloe content and minimal added alcohol or fragrance to avoid irritation.

  • Fresh aloe should be patch-tested—raw gel can spoil if not stored properly.
