Aloe Vera: Natural Soothing with Clinically Proven Benefits

Some ingredients naturally stand out, and aloe vera is one of them. Its firm green leaves and cooling gel have been used for centuries to soften and restore the skin. We wanted to understand why this ingredient is so effective, so we explored the scientific literature and found an extensive review that clearly explains the properties of aloe vera. The findings confirm what many people have known for generations: aloe vera hydrates, calms and supports the skin’s natural repair process in a remarkably gentle way.

The Power Inside the Leaves
Aloe vera, officially known as Aloe barbadensis Miller, grows in warm, dry climates and stores water inside its thick leaves. The gel inside these leaves is mostly water, enriched with natural sugars, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This makes aloe vera a gentle yet effective ingredient that hydrates the skin and helps relieve irritation, dryness and redness.

Research shows that aloe vera¹:

• Has antioxidative properties
• Reduces inflammation
• Offers antibacterial activity and helps protect the skin
• Supports natural wound healing and the regeneration of the epidermis

From Nature to Skincare
In our BAKR&BERG Micellar Cleansing Water, aloe vera plays a key role. The gel hydrates and calms the skin during cleansing, which keeps the skin feeling fresh without any tightness. It combines effective cleansing with the natural softness of the plant itself.

And anyone who has ever visited Bonaire knows that aloe vera grows almost everywhere on the island. Cutting open a leaf and applying a bit of fresh gel gives instant relief. This pure and natural effect inspired our formulas.

Science Confirms It
The review we studied confirms what many intuitively knew: aloe vera gel has a remarkable ability to soothe, hydrate and support the skin. Researchers describe how aloe vera reduces redness and stimulates epidermal regeneration². The literature also shows that topical use is safe and well tolerated, even for sensitive skin.

Our skincare line is developed with respect for nature and with the wellbeing of the skin in mind. With ingredients like aloe vera, we return skincare to its essence: gentle, effective and responsible.

In the Micellar Cleansing Water, aloe vera is one of the key ingredients. It brings cleansing back to a mild, hydrating base that does not disturb the skin barrier. It prepares the skin naturally for the next steps in the routine.
