Aloe barbadensis
Known to herbalists for centuries as the medical plant or the potted physician, this cactus-like plant has green leaves filled with a clear, viscous gel, which liquefies when it comes in contact with the air. This gel contains important healing substances for the skin and hair; steroids, organic acids (amino acids), enzymes and polysaccharides.
The regenerative qualities of Aloe Vera thus make it suitable for the treatment of hair, and it is claimed to be effective against dandruff and hair loss resulting from seborrhoea. Aloe Vera is also a sun protector.
