THE ELEMENTS OF ALOE VERA

Lignin

A pulp-like substance existing in a formation with cellulose comprising the leaf-gel in Aloe Vera. Its presence connotes a strong ability to penetrate human skin. Any medicinal quantities it might contain are presently unknown.

Saponins

Discovered as a constituent comprising 2.91% of Aloe Vera leaf gel by Wasicky and Hoehne in 1951, Saponins are glycosides which provide not only a cleansing and antiseptic capability but are also superb cleansing agents for natural sudsing in cosmetics.
