Glycerin Soap, All Natural, contains glycerin to help moisturize the skin. It is hypo-allergenic and does not clog pores. In commercial soap-making, the glycerin is usually removed. Aloe Vera has been used externally to treat various skin conditions such as cuts, burns and eczema. It is alleged that sap from Aloe vera eases pain and reduces inflammation. A study performed in the 1990s showed that the healing time of a moderate to severe burn was reduced when the wound was treated on a regular basis with Aloe vera gel, compared to the healing of the wound covered in a gauze bandage. According to the researchers, this gel operates through a combination of mechanics, forming a protective layer against the oxygen and moisture of the air and inhibiting, through its various antibiotic and antifungal compounds, the action of micro-organisms. |
