Aloe vera (Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.) is a succulent perennial plant belonging to the Asphodelaceae family. Native to the Arabian Peninsula and now cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions, Aloe vera is well known for its thick, fleshy leaves that contain a clear, nutrient-rich gel. The gel is abundant in polysaccharides (particularly acemannan), vitamins (A, C, E, and B-complex), minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Due to its rich composition, Aloe vera is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products.
