Why We Love It:
The clear gel from the inside of aloe leaves is often known for its use on burns and wounds. This gel offers a protective layer that can soothe skin irritations and a variety of discomforts. Aloe is a common house plant and can be easily used by the entire family. When using aloe, simply break off a leaf and scoop out the clear inner layer and use it liberally on the skin as needed.
What It Looks Like:
