Aloe vera contains a combination of salicylic acid and magnesium that has a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

Aloe vera also provides natural skin conditioning. Aloe vera contains valuable vitamins and nutrients that are able to be carried to and reach and the deep innermost layers of the skin, thereby healing and conditioning the skin from the inside out.
