ALOE VERA - ALOE BARBADENSIS MILLER
Aloe Vera was used for centuries for its health and beauty benefits in Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China. In ancient Egypt, formerly known as "Kemet", aloe vera was called "the plant of immortality".
Aloe Vera is composed of 75 active constituents : Among them, you can find vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, fatty acids, antioxidants, lignin, saponins, antiseptic agents (such as salicylic acid) and amino acids.
VITAMINS : A, C, E, B12, folic acid (B9), choline.
ENZYMES : alliase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce inflammation and the other enzymes help to break down sugars and fatty acids.
MINERALS : calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. Minerals are very important for the proper functioning of enzymes; some of them are antioxidants.
SUGARS : monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and mannose-6-phosphate) and polysaccharides (glucomannans and polymannoses).
FATTY ACIDS : cholesterol, campesterol, beta-sisosterol et lupeol (steroides). They all have anti-inflammatory properties and lupeol has antiseptic and analgesic properties.
HORMONES : auxines et gibberellines : anti-inflammatory, help wound healing.
AMINO ACIDS : 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids for humans and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids.
ANTISEPTIC AGENTS : lupeol, salicylic acid, nitrogen urea, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. Inhibit molds, bacteria and viruses.
Lignin is an inert substance that increases the penetration of the other actives into the skin. Saponins are soapy substances with cleaning and antiseptic properties.
Aloe Vera Gel has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-aging, anti-acne, hydrating and protecting properties on the skin. In addition to that, it softens and protects the hair.
In the Caribbean, we use it traditionally as a natural shampoo or hair mask. It can be used as a prepoo treatment, detangler, leave-in or natural gel to lay down the hair or define the curls.

Hello: everyone today, i'm gon na, show you how to make pure aloe vera gel without adding any water or other ingredients to it. I'M also gon na talk about its properties and show you how to store it for months so that it doesn't lose its properties. If you love diys and want to grow your hair longer stronger and thicker make sure to subscribe with notifications to not miss out any of my upcoming videos. After collecting my aloe vera leaves i let the yellow latex flow out of the ends and wash them with tap water. Then i cut the extremities of each leaf. As you can see here, aloe vera was used for centuries for its health and beauty benefits in egypt. India, mexico, japan and china in ancient egypt, formerly known as kemet aloe vera, was called the plant of immortality. Here i removed the spines on the sides of each leaf with a sharp knife. Then i put all the aloe vera leaf pieces in water and cut them into smaller pieces. I make sure to wash them properly by agitating them in the water to remove the rest of the yellow latex. Even if you allow the yellow liquid fully drip from the aloe vera leaves when you collect them, there is still a little bit of liquid left inside the leaves, so i advise you to thoroughly wash them once you cut them into smaller pieces. The yellow liquid is also called yellow, latex and it's mainly composed of allowing and barbarian. In fact, we call it halloween directly to make it simple. This liquid can provoke allergic reactions. That'S why you have to get rid of it. I wanted to specify that, even if you make sure to get rid of the yellow latex, you can still get an allergic reaction to aloe vera. Therefore, i advise you to do a patch test on the crook of your elbow 48 hours before use. Then i remove the skin on one side of each leaf and expose the gel aloe vera is composed of 75 active constituents. Among them you can find vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, fatty acids, antioxidants, linen saponins, antiseptic agents such as salicylic acid and amino acids. Aloe vera gel has healing anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-aging, anti-acne, hydrating and protecting properties on the skin. In addition to that, it softens and protects the hair in the caribbean. We use it traditionally as a natural, shampoo or hair mask. You can use it as a prepo treatment. Natural detangler, leave-in or natural gel to lay down your hair and define your curls. Now i remove the gel from all the aloe vera leaf pieces with a spoon and put it into a bowl. You can use a knife to remove the gel, but i found that the use of a spoon is more practical. Do do here is all the gel i collected from the leaves, if you don't have any blender or mixer you can mix or squeeze it with your hands for several minutes to extract the gel, then put it into a strainer or filter bag to separate the gel. From the aloe vera pieces, however, today i'm gon na use a blender to make things easier and extract as much gel as possible. So now i toss all the aloe vera gel in my blender and i blend until i get a smooth gel, then i pour the gel into my filter bag. Squeeze it gently and extract as much gel as possible. Here are the residues left in the filter bag? To finish, i put my gel in my applicator bottles. I also put some of the gel in an ice cube tray so that i can have little samples of aloe vera gel to use on my face or on my scalp. If you want to store the gel without it losing its properties, you can put it in your freezer until you're ready to use it a few months later. That'S how my applicator bottles with frozen aloe vera gel, look like let the gel melt at room temperature. If you want to speed up the defrosting process, you can put your applicator bottles in a bowl with warm water. Here, my gel is partially melted. I'M showing you how the texture looks like have you already tried aloe vera gel on your skin and hair? I would love to know how often you use it and what your results are so far.

UnivHair Soleil: You can watch the video in French here : https://youtu.be/jPa8pRI2eH0 How To Properly Make Aloe vera Oil For Extreme Hair Growth : https://youtu.be/Cx1YSwMOmAs
Angels Anglin: Aloe Vera is my go too, I use it for my shampoo and leave in conditioner, night face mask, for cuts, I drink a shot glass with juice as often as possible, I find it good to help my blood sugars, Aloe Vera is God's food, you don't need expensive creams or shampoos, I am 60 year old and don't have any line in my face
Sable Brown: I love fresh aloe vera. Incorporated it as a prepoo and conditioner. I can really tell the difference. I was given two large leaf plants and a couple of medium size. An excellent gift and wise investment if you can find them. I have been using them weekly since the summer and my hair is growing. Thank you for this video!
Tristan_hu: Hello. I’ve tried aloe on my skin, it ERASED hives from my face during a flair up related too an allergic reaction (skin problems are usually deeper). Now I’m ready to try it on my scalp and in my hair. Thank you.
Sumthin2LukAt Sumthin2LukAt: I enjoyed your video. I use aloe vera daily on my hair. It keeps my hair extremely soft and moisturized with a natural shine. I rinse my hair every day because I do hot yoga in a sauna and I don’t want the aloe to run into my eyes. My hair is still hydrated. I use the aloe straight from the plant. I’m noticed that my thin hair is no longer falling out because my curls are locked after it is rinsed. It truly protected my hair and makes it look fuller. My 70 year old mom is using it and getting the same results. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
wylesiavm: I can attest to Aloe Vera. This pass year I incorporated it in my wash routine as a 1hr deep conditioner as well as a leave in some times. When I tell you within 9 months my hair was down my back and healthy “ whew Chile “. My hair naturally grows fast but it was faster and healthier but mind you I only did it a few times in the 9 months. Imagine if I was consistent with every wash day ❤️♀️.
Flourish: I'm new to your channel and I love that you tell how to store and for how long mixtures last. Thank you!!
Natural Kinky Curly―Marie: Great Video. I've been Freezing my Aloe for years because I extract a large quantity. You forgot Africa when you mentioned places Aloe was used in ancient times. Aloe has a long history of being used for its Medicinal Properties dating back to Ancient Africa. The Plant is native to North Africa (I know you couldn't list every place )._ As most people are aware it's grown in Tropical Climates Worldwide.
Lotus Flower Life: I stopped using aloe vera in my hair because it was making my scalp super itchy and I realized its because the latex wasn't drained off properly even though I washed it. I think I'm def gonna try it again using your method
Virginia boyd: I use Aloe Vera for everything. Hair, face and skin. Oil, shampoo, deep conditioner and gel. I love it.
Yourfairweatherfriend: Hello, for FYI it’s easier to slice the aloe vera leaves in half, and take a large spoon and scrape the inside out of the aloe vera half. This will cut the time in half. I simply just scrape all the inside of the aloe vera into a blender and make juice with it. If you want to make aloe vera gel, use a food processor.
Remika Williams: Thx for this video!!!! I never knew you could freeze it and it doesn't change the texture
castlecat: So informative!! Very satisfying to watch you cut and wash the aloe great great video
M P: I am very excited to begin using pure aloe vera from the plant my hair has been very short for many years due to all sorts of things that I've done to my hair but it is now in its natural state (hairline receded unfortunately) but I am still so excited to begin my journey with aloe vera and all sorts of other great DIY recipes even in my older maturing years. The Bible does say your "latter shall be greater" God bless you for sharing!!
Rita Marge: The yellow secretion is some of best parts to the plant. I use it on my face. Aloe vera in general itches when it sits on your skin. I blend the gel with about a tablespoon of olive or avocado oil, but it dries out my hair. I typically leave it in for a week.
Bernadette Grant: Back in the 80s as a young Rasta coming up n starting my locks I used aloe , scruching needle known as the cactus, okra , hibiscus flowers, Lin seed known as flax seed, u can use any natural product from stuff that gets that gelly n gooing, thick consistency. N most of them r consumed to for good health . But ye all these things gave me some of the healthiest locks everyone used to b amazed at my hair n skin. Ppl r going bk to their roots which is good but some like ready done n can buy it at the stores .
