There are many varieties of aloe throughout the world. Of these only three have the Health properties the name Aloe Vera is renown. Aloe Barbadensis and Aloe Barbadensis-Miller are the varieties used throughout the Health Care, Skin Care and Cosmetic Industry world wide and are the only beneficial varieties. The variety Arborescens. is not widely used for a number of reasons - it is not suitable for ingestion (the aloin from the skin can cause liver and kidney problems after a prolonged period of use), it causes skin irritation to some users, it is difficult and very laborious to harvest and fillet for gel, and finally it is not as beneficial as the two Barbadensis varieties.

COLLAGEN AND YOUR SKIN

YOU CAN STIMULATE YOUR OWN NATURAL COLLAGEN BY USING FRESH
ALOE BARBADENSIS-MILLER' LEAVES'
OR OUR OWN
'COMPLETE FACE LOTION'

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is in your muscles, your ligaments and tendons, your bones and your skin and many other parts of the body. It is the main contributor to the elasticity and natural hydration of the skin. Our bodies produce it naturally but as we age we produce less causing our skin to dry and loose it’s elasticity.
Most of the Collagen products you see, contain collagen that is the by-product of animal parts like cow’s teeth, hooves, chicken feathers, various parts of pigs and so on. Chemicals are used to process the collagen so that it is absorbed and harsh chemical agents are often used that break down the collagen so it is absorbed into the human tissue. Of course the question needs to be asked – “How are the animals treated and what is the process for obtaining the collagen?” (Aloefresh has a cruelty-free policy and does not use ingredients that are tested on animals or extracted from animals).
Collagen is also found in some plants. The most abundant source is from a variety of Aloe called Barbadensis-Miller, (the True Aloe – Vera is Latin for True), and of course the most effective use is direct from the fresh leaf. Pure ‘organic and spray-free’ aloe gels are an excellent source. Regular and continued application of the gel will stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. It is also advantageous to drink about 100mls daily - in the morning is best.
Collagen also comes from certain rare species of seaweed, not found commonly and easy to overlook.
