Extraction:
Ground and cold pressed to extract the leaf juice.
Aloe juice should then be decolorized - filtered through an activated charcoal filter to ensure it is virtually free of the toxic constituents found in aloe latex - the bitter yellow sap between the rind and the inner leaf of the aloe plant.
4-Legger uses only UDSA certified organic decolorized aloe vera juice in all of our organic dog shampoo!
Aloe Benefits
For over 6000 years aloe vera has been known as the natural healer - able to rapidly heal cuts, dry skin, and moisturize skin and hair/fur.
Aloe is used to treat a variety of skin conditions from flaky or dry skin, burns, scrapes, eczema, dandruff, psoriasis, and more.
How does Aloe work?
Aloe is packed with polysaccharides and flavonoids with high antioxidant activities and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These help to improve the flow of blood to damaged areas, improving collagen formation while keeping the dry skin moist and protected.
In addition to acting as a moisturizer to soothe dry skin, aloe also acts as a natural conditioner and helps smooth the hair shaft, making the hair shinier, glossier, more manageable, and healthier.
Is Aloe safe?
Externally, is safe, non-toxic, sustainable, biodegradable, and safe for you, your dog and cat, and our planet!
