Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to promote healthy skin. Its use can be traced back as far as 6,000 years ago to early Egypt. It is known as a contact healer because it stimulates healing in the affected area upon contact. It has been used to treat poison ivy, chicken pox, and burns. It is also used to treat aging skin because it helps to remove dead skin and promote the growth of healthy living cells. Because it can rapidly penetrate all 3 layers of the skin, the soothing and healing process is quicker, allowing wounds and burns to heal faster.
Allantoin is derived from the Comfrey herb and is a valuable cell-proliferating, healing agent which stimulates healthy tissue formation. Allantoin has a pronounced skin softening action, and it acts as chemical debrider of necrotic and scaling tissue, cleaning up the areas where it is applied. It is used for skin ulcers, wounds, scalds, burns and sunburns. It is also used for acne and skin eruptions, fissures, abrasions, impetigo, eczema, and psoriasis.*
