Pure Cold-Processed Aloe Vera for Deep Skin Hydration

Most commercial aloe gels use heat-processing that destroys heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes, and polysaccharides. They're often heavily diluted with water and fillers, containing only a small percentage of actual aloe. Desert Harvest uses cold-processing to preserve all 75+ active compounds at maximum potency, with highest-grade organic aloe vera and 100% natural-origin ingredients. No parabens, no petrochemicals, no artificial additives.

Heat-processing extends shelf life but destroys the delicate nutrients that make aloe effective—vitamins C and E, enzymes, polysaccharides, and other active compounds. Cold-processing preserves these nutrients at full potency while safely removing irritating anthraquinones (natural latex compounds). The result is pure, potent aloe with maximum therapeutic value.

Yes. The same purity that makes it effective for facial skincare makes it safe for sensitive intimate areas. Our cold-processed formula with natural preservation contains no parabens, fragrances, or harsh chemicals that could irritate delicate vulvar tissue. It's trusted by the IC/BPS community for gentle external use. For external use only—do not insert into vaginal canal.

Absolutely! The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and works beautifully as a daily facial moisturizer or makeup primer. It won't clog pores, making it suitable even for oily and acne-prone skin. Natural salicylic acid gently unclogs pores while antioxidants protect against environmental damage. Many customers use it morning and night as their go-to face moisturizer.

Yes, for both men and women. The natural antibacterial compounds help prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs, while soothing enzymes reduce post-shave irritation. Apply immediately after shaving to clean, damp skin. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly without leaving residue. Many customers report it's the best aftershave they've ever used.

Refrigeration is optional but recommended for enhanced benefits. Chilled aloe provides extra cooling relief—perfect for sunburn, post-workout cooling, reducing swelling, or soothing inflamed skin. The cooling sensation also feels luxurious on face and body. Room temperature storage is fine if you prefer.

Our natural preservation system uses radish root ferment filtrate (natural antimicrobial), honeysuckle extract, and aspen bark extract—all botanical ingredients that prevent bacterial growth without hormone-disrupting effects of parabens. This system is safe, effective, and gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Plus gluconolactone (derived from glucose) helps maintain product stability naturally.

As often as desired! There's no limit to frequency. Many people use it morning and night on face, plus throughout the day on hands, after sun exposure, post-shaving, or on intimate areas as needed. The gentle, natural formula is designed for unlimited daily use without irritation or buildup.

No. Aloe Vera Gelé is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and actually contains natural salicylic acid that helps unclog pores. The lightweight formula penetrates deep into the dermis without leaving greasy surface residue. It's suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin. Natural antimicrobial compounds help prevent bacterial growth that causes breakouts.

Most people with sensitive skin tolerate it beautifully because it contains 100% natural-origin ingredients without common irritants (fragrances, parabens, synthetic dyes). However, individual sensitivities can occur with any product. We recommend patch testing on your inner arm 24 hours before facial or intimate use if you have concerns. Discontinue use if irritation develops.
