 Aloe plants are native to Africa and are commonly known as 'lily of the desert’. The liquid found in the leaves of the aloe is very bitter; hence the name 'bitter aloe' and this gel or liquid has been found to have fantastic medicinal properties. Aloe Vera is an aloe cultivated in the southern USA and Mexico. It has a very short stem and fleshy leaves and is used in the cosmetic industry as well in its medicinal capacity. Aloe Ferox (national tree 29.2) grows wild in the South eastern regions of South Africa. It is a taller plant with a single stem and can grow to over 4m. The leaves have many thorns and are tough, earning it the name ‘ferox’ meaning ferocious.
Simply Aloe extracts the Aloe Ferox gel from the plants using a gentle patented process. Simply Aloe uses a pure gel, extracted directly from the Aloe Ferox plant. No powders or reconstituted gels are used.
The Aloe Ferox gel used in all Simply Aloe products is 100% pure. It forms the base of the products and is used as a main ingredient, not merely as an extract in small quantities. The Aloe Ferox used is
