Did you know that Aloe Vera contains over 200 biologically active compounds that offer anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-itch properties, which is why it can help the skin heal and repair itself?

Known as the Lily of the Desert, Aloe is one of the oldest mentioned plants on record. Ancient Chinese and Egyptians used it to treat burns, wounds and to reduce fever.

Alexander the Great conquered the island of Socotra, off the coast of Africa to secure supplies of the plant to treat his wounded soldiers, and in 1944, the Japanese, exposed to radiation from the atom bomb, applied aloe gel to their wounds and reported faster healing and less scarring.

Aloe Vera is one of the 11 Natural Active Ingredients inside a bottle of Basix Skin Defence Cream, which is why this is an effective Psoriasis cream and also one of the best eczema moisturizers.
