Aloe vera

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that’s known for its soothing and medicinal properties, especially for the skin. The gel inside its thick, fleshy leaves contains compounds like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, which are commonly used in skincare products, as well as in beverages or supplements.

The gel is famous for its ability to help with burns, cuts, and other skin irritations because it has anti-inflammatory and hydrating effects. It’s also sometimes used to relieve constipation when taken internally in the form of supplements or juice, though that should be done with caution.
