What is Aloe Vera Extract?

Aloe vera is a powerful anti-aging ingredient known for its deep hydration, skin repair, and soothing properties. As skin ages, it becomes more prone to dryness, irritation, and collagen breakdown, leading to wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Aloe vera helps boost moisture retention, stimulate collagen production, and reduce inflammation, preventing premature aging. In haircare, it hydrates the scalp, strengthens follicles, and promotes hair growth. However, aloe alone can have poor absorption and stability. Micellar Cosmetics’ Green Micellar™ formulation enhances penetration, bioavailability, and effectiveness, delivering lightweight, long-lasting hydration and anti-aging benefits for youthful, healthy skin and hair.
