Cosmetic Attributes of Aloe vera L. Gel
نویسنده
چکیده
Aloe vera L. (syn. A. barbadensis Miller.) is a perennial succulent plant belonging to the Liliaceae family. The plant is known traditionally as the “healing plant” and is claimed to possess wound-healing, burn-healing, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antiallergic, anti-diabetic, and UV protective properties. Due to these therapeutic properties A. vera is being used in a variety of pharmaceutical and cosmetic product formulations. Most of its biological potential has been attributed to the polysaccharides present in its gel. Many attempts have been made to describe the biological potential of Aloe gel. This review focuses on the recently explored cosmetic potential of aloe gel in relation to wound healing, anti-oxidant and UV-opacity. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
