Aloe Vera is very rich in polyphenolic compounds like aloesin that inhibit the pigmentation process of the skin. Aloesin has properties that aid in the rejuvenation and brightening of lips. Aloe Vera also contains phytochemicals such as anthrones, acetylated mannans, anthraquinones such as emodin and glycosides. All these phytochemicals have great medicinal value. Aloe Vera extracts can also be used for cosmetic purposes, especially in making skin lotions and ointments.
