Aloe Vera

What it is
Aloe vera is a botanical ingredient derived from the leaves of the aloe plant. It has a long history of use in skincare because of its hydrating, soothing, and skin-conditioning properties.

Why we use it
We use aloe vera to help hydrate and comfort skin that feels dry or sensitive. It works alongside other soothing and moisture-supporting ingredients to help skin feel soft, calm, and cared for.

Why it's considered safe

  • Widely used in gentle and sensitive-skin formulas

  • Helps hydrate and condition the skin

  • Commonly included in products designed to soothe dry or uncomfortable-feeling skin

Good to know
Aloe is often thought of as a soothing ingredient, but it also contributes hydration. In our formulas, it can be part of a broader approach to botanical comfort rather than being asked to do all the work on its own.

The Lotus Standard
We chose aloe vera because treatment-affected skin deserves ingredients that offer comfort with purpose. It helps support the soft, soothing experience we want Lotus skincare to provide.
