Abstract

For millennia, people have utilized and appreciated the health, aesthetic, therapeutic, and skin- care benefits of aloe vera plants. Aloe is a plant that grows in dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, and America. It has approximately 300 species. Aloe barbadensis miller is the botanical name of aloe vera. It is a perennial, xerophytic, succulent, shrubby or arborescent plant with pea-green hue that is a member of the Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family. The plant features fruits that are filled with many seeds, yellow tubular blooms, and triangular, fleshy leaves with serrated edges. There are seventy-five potentially active ingredients in aloe vera, including vitamins, enzymes, minerals, carbohydrates, lignin, saponins, amino acids, and salicylic acids. Numerous investigations were conducted on aloe vera to assess various attributes, such as its antiulcer, antidiabetic, antihypercholestermic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiacne, cardiac stimulant, nutraceutical, moisturizer, immune modulator, ability to protect skin from UVA and UVB rays, and ability to heal wounds. The current study reviews phytochemicals, analyzes restrictions, and discusses aloe vera’s potential as a cornerstone for medication therapy. Today, aloe vera is a natural product that is widely used in the cosmetics industry. Even though it has a number of indications, controlled trials are necessary to ascertain its true effectiveness. This article provides a brief overview of the aloe vera plant, including its characteristics, mode of action, and therapeutic applications.

Keywords: Aloe vera, Medicinal uses, Bioactive compounds, Taxonomic classification, Health and Beauty Skin.
