Hello Aloe! Soothing Skin Hydration

Hello Aloe! Soothing Skin Hydration

by Diana Zuban

Some skincare ingredients are trend-driven. Aloe is not one of them. 

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice—better known as Aloe Vera Juice—has been a skin saviour for generations (and a Natio favourite ingredient for over 30 years).  And while it might not be the flashiest name on an ingredient list, Aloe's benefits are anything but basic. 

Soothing, Hydrating & Dependably Gentle 

Starting with the obvious, Aloe is a well known go-to for calming and hydration. Extracted from the inner pulp of the Aloe Vera plant’s thick, fleshy leaves, the juice is made up largely of water, making it a natural moisture magnet. For this reason, Aloe has become a staple in Natio formulas designed to replenish dry or irritated skin, and it is especially heroic for post-sun or post-exfoliation. Comfort-wise, Aloe is a winner as its cooling, refreshing, lightweight moisture doesn’t sit heavily or leave skin greasy (a trait which is especially welcome during hot and humid months). 

Also... *More* Than Hydration 

Here’s where Aloe really earns its gold star. Beyond hydration, Aloe brings a quiet power to your routine loaded with vitamins A, C and E, plus enzymes and amino acids, all of which help support the skin’s natural renewal process. Translation? Used over time, skin feels smoother, looks calmer and holds onto that healthy, post-facial kind of glow. Yes, yes and yes please. 

Versatile Vera  

Another of Aloe’s biggest strengths is its versatility. Sensitive skin? It soothes. Oily skin? It hydrates without clogging. Sunburnt, stressed, or just out of balance? Aloe steps in to soothe without drama. This versatility is why you’ll find Aloe across all kinds of formulas - from soothing gels to hydrating masks, moisturising treatments and moisturisers, gentle toners and even nurturing sunscreens.  

Whether you're a skincare minimalist or enthusiastically ten serums deep, Aloe Vera is one of those ingredients that plays well with others and just works. It’s gentle, natural and always welcome - especially when your skin needs a refresh. Without a doubt, Aloe is a Natio favourite and a botanical superstar - with love from us to you.  

Seasonal Pro Tip: 

This summer, keep an Aloe-based gel or mist in the fridge and your skin will thank you after a long day (or a little too much sun).
