Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract is an extract of the leaves of the aloe, Aloe barbadensis, Liliaceae.
You may know Aloe to be a good sunburn reliever and inflammation reducer. This is because it contains many components that are known to help reduce irritation and itchiness. These include vitamins, amino acids, polysaccharides, and more. The high water content of aloe also helps give a cooling effect.
Aloe contains the antioxidants Vitamins A, C, and E. These vitamins neutralize free radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells, such as pollution.
The aloe plant is naturally abundant in polysaccharides, a carbohydrate made of sugar molecules. Polysaccharides help hydrate your skin by mimicking your skin's natural carbohydrates.
As it is easily absorbed by the skin, aloe is a great moisturizer. It is both a humectant and emollient. Emollients help trap moisture in your skin, keeping your skin soft. Humectants draw water from the air to your skin.
Other components of aloe include sugars such as monosaccharides and polysaccharides, folic acid, choline, many common minerals such as calcium, fatty acids, amino acids, and Vitamin B12.
Aloe does not protect against UV rays, despite it soothing sunburns.
There are over 420 species of aloe but Aloe Barbadensis is the most commonly used for topical products.

I've used this product for years and recently did some digging around it that changed my mind. I believe aloe leaf extract is a powdered concentrate of aloe that is rehydrated with water, in contrast to aloe leaf juice which is freshly pressed (?). Some of its beneficial properties are lost in the dehydrating/reconstituting process of formulating with the extract. This gel also contains phenethyl alcohol (very low concentration) which is essentially fragrance and therefore potentially irritating. Gonna try something different next time.

its very good for oily skin as it moisturises without leaving it feeling greasy. What i noticed is that it stings whenever this product touches an irritated part of my face; for example, after waxing my face. Overall, it is an alright product and i reccomend gua sha with it!
