Gum Aloes Pieces

Native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, aloe boasts over 400 species within its genus. Cultivated extensively in regions like South Africa, Kenya, Venezuela, and Mexico, this plant is hailed for its health properties.

The gum of aloe is sourced from the inner part of the plant leaves, specifically the pericyclic cells surrounding the phloem and xylem. This sap, or yellow juice, is refined for use in various industries, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where it finds its way into products like bath salts, body oils, soaps, creams, and lotions.
