Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt and the original master of the smokey eye, had a beauty routine that was as legendary as her reign. We've all heard of her milk baths, but her other prized skincare secret was Aloe Vera. She believed this plant held the key to the fountain of youth, and for good reason; at that time, over 2,000 years ago, Aloe Vera was known as the "plant of immortality," and it's been living up to that name ever since, soothing and healing angry, irritated skin with its remarkable properties. Fast forward to today, and this wonder plant is still working overtime in our skincare routines. If we're being honest, it first earned its place in the rotation after we indulged in too much fun in the sun (you live, you learn, right?) Aloe Vera is like a cocktail of goodness, suitable for all skin types, and packed with a gel-like substance inside its leaves loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids. We've learned how to harness its full potential by using a patented extraction process that maximises the concentration of polysaccharides, the sugar molecules that gives Aloe Vera its soothing superpowers. We've infused this potent gel into our pH-friendly, flushable wipes. Something tells us Cleopatra would approve.
