La Puerta Core Essentials Ingredient Focus: Aloe

Aloe is a superstar; this cactuslike plant is loaded with antioxidants, acts as a natural antibiotic, and is famous for its cooling and soothing properties. While it is known as the ultimate cure for summer skin, it can also be found in supplements, beverages, and herbal remedies.  Aloe is ubiquitous at The Ranch; these beautiful plants thrive in full sun and deep shade. Hummingbirds favor their tubular coral flowers. Naturally we used Aloe as a key ingredient in La Puerta Core Essentials™ bath, body, sun restore, and hair collections. Read on to learn about how Aloe plays a role in some of our best selling products.
