Curaloe Soothing Aloe Vera Gel — 150ml Single-Ingredient Inner-Leaf Cosmetic

150ml

Certified-organic Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) — the "true aloe," grown & cold-pressed in Vivo, Limpopo, South Africa (not the wild Aloe ferox most SA brands use). USDA NOP & EU organic certified by Ecocert. Why barbadensis?

A single-ingredient inner-leaf aloe vera gel from our South African plantation. Lightweight, clear, non-greasy — a climate-adaptive cosmetic staple that works in Cape Town's wind, Joburg's altitude UV and Durban's humidity.

How to use it

Apply a thin layer to clean, damp skin morning and/or evening; allow 2–3 minutes to absorb before the next layer. Works as a daily moisturiser for oily or normal skin in humid climates, a hydrating buffer between cleanser and moisturiser, a calming layer between strong actives (retinol, AHA/BHA, vitamin C) and moisturiser, after sun, after shaving, and on dry patches on hands and body.

Who this is not for

• People with diagnosed skin conditions — please consult a dermatologist; this is a cosmetic, not a medicine
• People with a known aloe allergy (uncommon, but it exists)
• Children under 3 without adult supervision and a patch test
• Open wounds, blistered or severely damaged skin — see a healthcare professional

Storage & shelf life

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Cap firmly between uses. Best used within 12 months of opening. Best-before date on the tube.

FAQ

Will it clog my pores? Inner-leaf aloe gel rates very low on comedogenic scales — significantly lower than most facial moisturisers — so it's one of the safer single-ingredient choices for oily, blemish-prone skin.

Can I use it under sunscreen and makeup? Yes. Let it absorb for 2–3 minutes before the next layer to avoid pilling.

Why is it clear and not green? Pure inner-leaf aloe is naturally clear. Bright-green aloe products usually contain added colourant.

Does it sting? On healthy skin, no. On freshly exfoliated or sun-exposed skin you may feel a faint cool tingle that subsides within seconds. If it actively burns or itches, rinse off — that can signal a sensitivity.

Is it organic-certified? Yes. The inner-leaf Aloe barbadensis Miller is grown on our certified-organic plantation (Ecocert, USDA NOP and EU organic), and this gel is itself certified Ecocert COSMOS Organic.

Our aloe: certified-organic Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller)

The aloe in Curaloe products is our own Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) — the "true aloe" prized in skincare and wellness, not the wild Aloe ferox that most South African aloe brands use. We grow it ourselves and cold-press it within hours of hand-harvest at our plantation in Vivo, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

That aloe is certified organic by Ecocert to both the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) and EU organic standards. Curaloe is the consumer brand of African Caribbean Aloe Products (ACAP). Why Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller)?
