Description

Aloe vera has been known for centuries for its exceptional nourishing and healing properties. The extract obtained from the leaves of the aloe plant contains over 200 bioactive ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. While organic quality is not always used in natural cosmetics, Barau by Bibi places particular emphasis on using only organic aloe vera. This ensures that the plant is free of pesticides and chemical residues, and that its skin-friendly properties are optimally preserved.

Benefits for the skin

🌿 Intense moisture: Aloe vera provides up to four times more moisture than water and helps the skin retain it for longer.
🌿 Soothing & regenerating: Relieves sensitive, irritated or sun-stressed skin.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory: Studies show a positive effect on redness, skin irritations and inflammation.
🌿 Antioxidant: Protects the skin from free radicals and premature skin aging.
🌿 Promotes the skin barrier: Supports the skin's natural protective function through polysaccharides.

Effects & Skin Needs

💚 Regenerating: Promotes cell renewal and can help with minor skin damage.
💚 Soothing: Reduces feelings of tension and skin irritation.
💚 Moisture-retaining: Ideal for dry and sensitive skin.
💚 Antibacterial: Effective against impurities and supports wound healing.

Comparison with conventional ingredients

🚫 Conventional moisturizers such as synthetic glycerin or silicones often only work on the surface, while aloe vera can penetrate deeper layers of the skin.
🚫 Synthetic emollients (e.g., mineral oils) form an artificial protective layer that can seal the skin instead of moisturizing it.
🚫 Conventional after-sun products often contain alcohol or parabens, which dry out the skin in the long term, while aloe vera naturally soothes and hydrates.
