Why are aloe vera plants added to most lotions and soaps?

Answer by  justmesuzanne (625)

Aloe vera is a wonder substance that softens the skin and promotes healing. It is also anti-bacterial. However, when added to most commercial products, it's benefits are negated by the chemicals, perfumes, etc., that are usually present. It is best to use aloe vera gel in its pure form, either directly from the plant or bottled pure.

Well it is a good substance because it helps the skin look great. It also contains a good amount of vitamin E and that is the reason why it's added to lotions.
