What does it Mean Aloe Cosmetics?

Aloe Cosmetics

By definition, cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body.

Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial makeup, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays and gels, deodorants, baby products, bath oils, bubble baths, bath salts, butters and many other types of products.

A subset of cosmetics is called "make-up," which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter the user’s appearance. Many manufacturers distinguish between decorative cosmetics and care cosmetics.

The expression “Aloe Cosmetics” belongs to any cosmetic or personal care product, where aloe is the main product into the formula. Usually, to achieve such definition, the presence of aloe vera as ingredient must reach values starting from 30% or 40% and more. 

We find products where aloe is the main ingredient in percentages of 50%, 60% or even close to 90% or 95% -mostly in the cases of gels or gellys-.

The high presence of aloe into the formula generates a healthy effect on the skin, therefore the aloe cosmetics and aloe personal care products a re categorized under the cosmeceutical market. Cosmeceutical market is a category into the Cosmetic and Personal Care Market.  

Aloe cosmetics are considered under the category of cosmeceuticals. In order to understand the concept, it is necessary to explain the expression. Cosmeceuticals represent the marriage of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Examples of products typically labeled as cosmeceuticals include anti-aging creams and moisturizers. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products with biologically active ingredients purporting to have medical or drug-like benefits. That is the main reason we include aloe cosmetics into this category. Dermatological research suggests that the bioactive ingredients used in cosmeceuticals do indeed have benefits. 

However, despite the reports of benefits from some cosmeceutical products, the term cosmeceutical remains a marketing term, as there are no requirements to prove that the products actually live up to their claims. Therefore it is up to the consumer to decide whether these claims are valid and worth the cost.

An important distinction lies in the delivery method. The "cosmeceutical" label applies only to products applied topically, such as creams, lotions, and ointments. Products which are similar in perceived benefits but ingested orally are known as “nutricosmetics”.

There are several reasons the aloe cosmetics (including personal care products) are considered under the cosmeceutical category. As we have explained, aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and humectants. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and stimulates cell growth in damaged skin.

Even when our products are categorized as cosmeceutical, the other typical segmentation is still valid to understand the market trends. So, the cosmetic has several segments, such as the following:

• Color cosmetics

• Deodorants

• Fragrances

• Hair care products

• Men's products

• Oral hygiene products

• Skin care

  • Facial care

  • Body care

  • Hand and feet care

• Bath and shower products

• Sun care

• Baby care 

• Other products
