All Eyes On Aloe

The botanical that rules eco-luxury skincare

Wild-harvested Cape Aloes form the basis of this active formulation to support your skin during the unforgiving winter months. But if you're basking away in endless summer days, the nutritious sap that makes up our serum may be an antidote to one too many days in the sun.

The Cape Aloe, withstands harsh environmental conditions, much like our body's biggest organ, the skin. Dry, red, irritated skin begs for just one pump of our Cape Aloe Serum. Here’s why.

Cape Aloe and why it reigns supreme in the Floral Kingdom of Southern Africa

In Swellendam's dry and rocky terrain, sweltering temperatures loom over a sea of Cape Aloes. With stems reaching spectacular heights of 2-3 metres, their sumptuous, sawtooth edge leaves burst with a viscous sap intended to praise your skin. Crowned with a candelabrum of bright red flowers, the Cape Aloes seep double the goodness of an aloe vera plant, making it reign supreme in the Floral Kingdom.

For years, Aloe Vera has dominated the world stage, and with good reason, its potent vitamin C, E and Zinc content make it a remarkable substance to soothe skin and support wound healing. But when it comes to glowing skin, The Cape Aloe sweeps the board every time. The Cape Aloe is prized for its healing properties and is widely used in skincare products to ease redness and inflammation. In addition, its high concentration of polysaccharides and glycoproteins helps lock in moisture and support the skin's natural barrier. Pair Aloe Vera with Aloe Ferox, and you have one potent elixir.

Bursting with nourishment

The Natural Africa's Cape Aloe Serum is bursting with all the nourishment of both Aloe species containing high quantities of vital properties which boost its effectiveness. This is thanks to the Cape Aloe’s high Aloin content, which may enhance skin repair and healing.

But this wisdom and application of the plant is nothing new. Centuries before the healing properties of plants became popular, the indigenous people of Southern Africa used the Cape Aloe for its remedial
composition. The ancient art of tapping the bitter sap from the leaves is still practised and forms an important part of local tradition.

Through the information and mastery passed down for generations, we have formulated a unique blend of cherished Sub-Saharan botanicals that comprise our Cape Aloe Serum. Devil's Claw, Geranium and Jojoba prove added benefits of skin restoration and barrier protection, while Hyaluronic acid aids the skin in retaining moisture.

The Cape Aloe endures harsh elements, just like our skin

So if fate has led you to brave freezing winters in the Northern Hemisphere, miles away from the noble Ferox, you're in luck. We use wild-harvested Cape Aloes to form the basis of this active formulation to support your skin during the unforgiving winter months. But if you're basking away in endless summer days, the nutritious sap that makes up our serum may also be an antidote to one too many days in the sun.
