A plant with many virtues, aloe vera is ideal in the form of topical body care products. Find out more about the ALOEX range.
Aloe vera is a plant whose leaf (more specifically the gel inside them) contains more than 200 components - such as 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins - with therapeutic properties1. Since 1979, Santrel International has made a point of offering products made from this plant. In addition to being manufactured according to high quality standards - the Canadian company holds the certificates of conformity required by Health Canada and meets government standards related to good manufacturing practices (GMP) - its products are recognized for their pure, simple and targeted formulas2. And its ALOEX line is no exception. Here are the topical body care products to have at home:
- Topical gel: Containing 96% pure aloe vera, this product is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, soothing and moisturizing properties. Simply apply it to the affected area - a minor cut, burn, allergic rash, skin reaction (eczema, hives, psoriasis, etc.), insect bite or acne pimple - to soothe the ailment and promote tissue healing. Good to know: it is also available in a 125 g format and as a spray.
- Bite Relief Gel: With a 90% concentration of pure aloe vera, this gel provides fast relief from bites of all kinds (mosquitoes, wasps, bees, and other insects).
- Moisturizing lotion: Concentrated with 75% pure aloe vera, this daily-use body lotion soothes skin irritations, fights dehydration, and leaves the skin soft and supple to the touch.
- Soothing after-sun lotion: Its 80% concentration of pure aloe vera helps to reduce the sensation of overheating, rehydrate the skin and prolong the tan.
