Aloe Vera:
The virtues of the Aloe Vera plant have been recorded by many great civilizations, from those of Persia and Egypt in the Middle East, Greece and Italy in Europe, to India, Japan and the Asian continent. Topically, it has been proven to counteract wrinkling of the skin, scarring, etc. It is very beneficial on burned, sunburned and environmentally exposed skin and also after laser treatments, dermabrasion or chemical peels. Scientific studies show that it stimulates cellular regeneration and also has been shown to have: astringent, emollient, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Bisabolol :
(alpha-Bisabolol ) is the naturally occurring main active component of chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), which has been used in traditional medicine in Europe for hundreds of years. The action of Bisabolol in the skin is very well documented. The most important effects of Bisabolol are:


Anti-inflammatory

Wound-healing

Anti-bacterial

Anti-mycotic




Bisabolol is therefore perfectly suited for use in all kinds of products for sensitive skin and skin recuperating from procedures such as surgeries, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion or chemical peels.
