The Magic of Aloe Vera
Aloe Barbadensis Miller

The "pure" gel of the unadulterated Aloe Barbadensis forms the base and is the first ingredient in the L'Bri Pure n' Natural skin care product line. There is a very important reason for this.
Aloe Vera gel is well known for its healing and soothing properties, especially on burns, but it is equally effective on bruises, cuts, abrasions, insect bites and other damaged skin tissues.
You may keep a pot of the Aloe Vera plant on hand in your kitchen in case of a burn. We have several plants going in our home because they are so easy to grow and love to produce babies, but one plant is really plenty for practical purposes!
The gel, of course, is the usable part. You cut open the spear-like leaf or just break off the tip of one and rub the oozing gel onto the burn.
There are more than 200 different species of Aloe, yet only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe Barbadensis Miller is at the top of these four since it is the most potent and nutritious, with only the mature plants bearing the greatest benefits.
Modern research tells us that one of the plant's effects is its enhancement of a proteolytic enzyme action in the skin tissue. By helping the natural process of cell division and sloughing off of dead cell tissue, the Aloe, in effect, rejuvenates and rebuilds new, healthy tissue at an accelerated pace. This is the same process that gives children that fresh, pink, healthy glow.
And, because Aloe is a succulent, it helps to maintain the natural moisturizing agents in the skin, helping retard the natural evaporative process and even drawing moisture from the air around us.
Aloe is able to penetrate the outer skin surface, taking its healing and moisturizing processes deeper within our skin.
The Aloe plants used in the formulation of L'Bri products come from only the highest grade cultivated in the Rio Grande Valley. The leaves are hand-picked, and then hand-filleted (sliced open) to ensure that only the purest, innermost gel of the plant is used.
Compare this to many products on the market today that will grind or squeeze the plant, which results in tainting their gel with aloins - a yellowish substance found in Aloe Vera which is actually harmful to skin tissue. The completely clear gel derived by L'Bri's method is a sure sign of the very highest grade of Aloe gel.
Then there is the stabilization process. Most companies use a heat pasteurization process utilizing high heat, which destroys most of the Aloe's natural benefits and healing properties. L'Bri, however, uses a cold stabilization process, which is the secret of their gel. This method ensures that their products retain 100% of the plant's healing and moisturizing properties.
