Since the time of the Pharaohs, the
gel from the spiny gray-green leaves of the aloe
veraplant has been doctoring sunburns, skin
irritations, insect bites and dry skin. NSP`s Aloe
Vera Gel contains 100% pure natural Aloe Vera Gel

Therapeutic Use
Aloe
Vera is a nutritional storehouse, containing vitamins
B1, B2, B6, C, niacinamide, choline and 18 amino acids.
It nutritionally benefits the intestinal system.
Used externally, it is known for its hydrating and
moisturising properties. Aloe vera gel spreads on
quickly and penetrates deeply, leaving no stickiness.
Active Ingredients
Many
companies manufacture aloe vera, but many products on
the market have lost much of the plant’s original
benefits due to overprocessing. Beware of aloe vera
juice that claims to have no disagreeable taste.
Removing this leaves you with a product that is only
10-15% aloe vera, at best. Nature’s Sunshine’s aloe vera
is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of
essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents.
