With its fleshy leaves and serrated edges, the succulent plant known as aloe vera is a familiar sight. Behind that vibrant green exterior is a jelly-like substance beaming with health benefits. Most people use the inner gel as a remedy for skin conditions, but aloe vera has many more uses, including being infused into clothing like our Spa and Studio socks. Here we share the benefits of aloe vera and what makes our aloe-infused socks so unique.
What is aloe vera?
Aloe vera belongs to the Liliaceae family and is highly versatile, with many health and wellness benefits. It has traditionally been used to ease constipation, manage skin conditions and treat infections, and is found worldwide in medicinal, health and beauty products.
