Product Description

Size: 1 qrt

Based on its soothing, cooling properties, many refer to Aloe Vera simply as the "medicine plant". Externally, it's been used throughout history to help ease the discomfort of sunburns, minor wounds, cuts, scrapes and rashes. Many researchers believe that aloe can enhance the body's ability to heal by stimulating the activity of collagen and elastin – two compounds responsible for healthy tissue integrity.*

1.0 out of 5 stars Not organic March 18, 2012

By Health123

Size Name:1 qrt|Amazon Verified Purchase

In some of its listings Amazon describes this juice/gel as organic which it is not. The front label says in large bold letters "Certified" and then under that says "see side panel." There is absolutely no approved seals of certification on the bottle however and on the side it simply has written "certified natural." It also says "All of Aloe Farms Aloe Vera plants are grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals. This promise is back by our 100% Money Back Guarantee." But of course such a guarantee seems to be worthless without the verification of any independent standard. As others have noted the ingredients are listed as: "Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Xanthan (Thickener), Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Ascorbic Acid (preservative, Citric Acid (preservative)." So that is three separate preservatives and a claim to be organic with absolutely no independent verification of this claim. The thickener seems to have been added to make this juice appear to be a gel, though it is still closer in consistency to a juice.

Instead of buying this again I switched to "Lily of the Desert Preservative Free Aloe Vera Juice" which has a "USDA ORGANIC" seal and a "neCert Certified Organic" seal. It also has a Certified seal from the "International Aloe Science Council" which says "Aloe content and purity in this product: certified". This juice is more bitter than the Aloe Farms one but tastes a lot more natural and is more liquid in consistency than the Aloe Farms one. The only added ingredient listed is "Citric Acid (pH Stabilizer)" It also comes in a glass bottle which is preferable for health reasons to the plastic container of the Aloe Farms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, inside and out! May 10, 2009

I use this product every day. It is an effective tonic for sensitive skin. I use it on myself after bathing--just slather it on. Mixed with a little tea tree oil, it takes care of rashes that my dog develops from time to time. I also drink a couple of ounces every morning to stabilize digestion. The dogs get a dose in their food, as well. Great stuff!
