Aloe vera is a humectant ánd a soothing agent. With its anti-inflammatory properties it helps to calm the skin and reduces irritation. Aloe vera is very gentle for the skin, which makes it perfect for the sensitive baby skin. It is particularly effective with sunburns and often used in after sun products. However, in case of severe dryness, aloe vera alone is not enough and it needs to be combined with other ingredients.
