Noteworthy applications include the treatment of dry skin associated with occupational exposure, with observed improvements in skin integrity, reduction of wrinkles, and diminished erythema.
Red Aloe Vera further exhibits anti-acne effects, and its anti-inflammatory nature may provide relief for eczema flare-ups, as indicated by studies referenced from the National Eczema Association. The presence of collagen contributes to anti-aging and skin-regenerating properties, extending the plant’s therapeutic reach to burns, scrapes, psoriasis, insect bites, and scalp health, including the elimination of dandruff.
