Benefits of Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera gel is widely known for its ability to quickly relieve sunburned skin. But did you know that Aloe Vera gel offers many more benefits for your skin beyond soothing the occasional sunburn?

Aloe Vera naturally contains antioxidants, Vitamins A, C and E, amino acids, and is highly anti-inflammatory. These natural properties make it a must-have in every household.

At Essential Oil Labs, we’ve bottled up one of our favorite multi-taskers – you can now buy our Aloe Vera Gel for just $14.95 – and it has quickly become one of our bestsellers. For good reason.

What is Aloe Vera Gel good for?

Hydrating Dry Skin.

Aloe Vera is incredibly moisturizing and can provide immediate hydration when applied directly to the skin. Aloe Vera gel can be used to hydrate and soothe dry, irritated skin anywhere on the body and face.

Helping the healing process.

Aloe Vera has properties that can inhibit bacteria and viruses. For this reason, it is often used to help heal wounds and first or second degree burns. Aloe Vera Gel can also be used to help heal and soothe chronic skin conditions like acne and eczema.

Fighting the signs of aging.

As our skin ages it loses some of its elasticity and lines begin to emerge. The naturally occurring beta carotene, Vitamin C and E in Aloe Vera Gel can help to improve the firmness of skin over time, resulting in smoother and softer looking skin.

Removing Makeup.

Aloe Vera Gel is extremely gentle and moisturizing, making it a great makeup remover for sensitive skin. Just pump a small amount of the gel out onto a cotton pad and use that to carefully wipe away the day’s makeup and oils.

Making a Natural Shaving Cream.

Due to it’s moisturizing properties and slippery texture Aloe Vera Gel can act as an excellent all-natural shaving gel/cream.

"I love this gel. This gel has body. I purchased 4 different bottles of Aloe Vera Gel when I purchased this one trying to find the right one for a shave gel. The others were thin, thin and thinner. This one has the right consistency for what I needed." - Fatima A (verified reviewer and EOL customer)

Hydrating Hair.

Aloe Vera Gel makes an amazing hair mask! Simply apply to damp hair focusing on dry ends first, and let sit for 30 minutes before shampooing. If you deal with dandruff, Aloe Vera Gel can be applied directly to the scalp instead; just let sit for 20-30 minutes and then shampoo away! If you struggle with dandruff, we recommend following this up with our Tea Tree Oil Shampoo.

Moisturizing Oily and Combination Skin.

Do you have an oily skin type and struggle to find a light yet hydrating facial moisturizer? Aloe Vera Gel might be the solution you’ve been looking for. Aloe Vera Gel is incredibly hydrating while offering a light and gel-like consistency. It also naturally contains Vitamin E and C (known for its skin-brightening effects!) and antioxidants, making it the perfect non-toxic one-step evening skincare product.
