Aloe Vera, be it raw or in the form of lotions, gels, creams, lotions, etc., has become one of the most commonly used plants in cosmetics & pharmaceuticals. Originating in warm conditions, this plant is cultivated in tropical or sub-tropical regions, mainly in Africa. However, due to its great adaptability, it is now flourished in any place with a warm environment.

Hence, as more & more people are adopting healthy lifestyles & naturally-derived products, it is amplifying the demand for aloe vera extracts, and, consequently, propelling the industry's expansion worldwide.
