Know Your Aloe
The benefits of Aloe Vera gel are endless – it helps with dehydration, soothes bumps, heals wounds and even eases sunburn. Which specific product should you buy, though?
ESI South Africa is the leading brand when it comes to Aloe Vera. Let’s compare their best topical Aloe Vera Gel products and what you should use them for.
Interesting Facts about Aloe Vera
One of the world’s biggest beauty icons, Cleopatra applied the Aloe Vera gel to her body during beauty regimen.
The word “aloe” comes from the Arabic term alloeh, which means “shining bitter substance,” and “vera” comes from the Latin word veritas, meaning “truth.” I went to a Catholic school my entire life so I actually knew the word Veritas as that was our motto. Gold star for me!
The main health benefits of Aloe Vera include helping to boost the immune system, digestion improvement, lowers blood sugar and prevents diabetes, relieve heartburn, prevent wrinkles and skin aging, helps treat seborrhea and dandruff, helps heal psoriasis and prevent cancer.

3. ESI South Africa Aloe Vera ESI Gel Vitamin E & Tea Tree Oil, R147 for 100ml (pictured above)
“We usually suggest the Aloe Vera Gel with Vit E & Tea Tree for open wounds,” says Wim. “It doesn’t burn and also helps to form the scab of the open wound. The tea tree disinfects and the Aloe, combined with the Vitamin E sorts out the healing.”
“Over the past few years, I’ve had many cuts and lacerations and since using this product, I’ve noticed that the scar tissue is a lot less visible once it’s fully healed.”
