“…The action of the gel as a moisturizing agent is still a popular concept and may account for much of its effect (Reynolds and Dweck, 1999;Wenker 1999;Davis et al, 1994a;Heggers et al, 1993;Shelton, 1991;Meadows, 1980). Acting by various mechanisms, Aloe vera may keep the wound moist and at the same time allow oxygen to penetrate the wound, adding to regeneration (Davis et al, 1994a,b;Davis et al, 1989a;Zawahry et al, 1973). Thus Aloe soothes, cools and seals in moisture, due to its high water and mineral content which make it ideally suited for use as a skin cream, and it can be found in a number of commercial beauty aids and suntan lotions.…”

“…Aloe's benefits can be attributed at least partly to its nutrients, since it contains proteins, carbohydrates (including mucopolysaccharides), vitamins (including B1, B2, B3, B6, C, and folic acid) and minerals. These nutrients, although beneficial individually, may work synergistically to soothe, heal, moisturize and regenerate the skin (Davis et al, 1989a;Zawahry et al, 1973).…”

“…Thus Aloe soothes, cools and seals in moisture, due to its high water and mineral content which make it ideally suited for use as a skin cream, and it can be found in a number of commercial beauty aids and suntan lotions. Its softening powers have recently been found to be helpful in breaking down calluses and blisters (Davis et al, 1989a;Zawahry et al, 1973).…”

This review describes the use of some natural products in cosmetic preparations, due to their low mammalian toxicity, with a brief description of the major use, plant parts used, the actives responsible for effect and the benefits of such products. Their use in skin care; such as dryness, eczema, acne, free-radical scavenging, antiinflammatory, antiaging and skin protection effects are explained, and also the use in hair care as hair growth stimulants, hair colorants, and for hair and scalp complaints such as dandruff. Essential oils when incorporated into finished products impart many benefits such as a pleasant aroma in perfumery, shine or conditioning effects in hair care products, emolliency and improving the elasticity of the skin.

“…In recent years, some environmentally friendly methods based on plants extracts are largely explored. For example, Mallikarjuna [20] and co-workers generated Ag and Pd NPs at room temperature employing coffee and tea extract. The single-pot method used no surfactant, capping agent, and/or template, which is an intrinsically green approach.…”

Aloe Vera-conjugated Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs@AV hybrids) are synthesized in large quantities by reducing silver nitrate with Aloe Vera pulp extract at room temperature. TEM image reveals that these NPs are predominantly spherical with an average of 25 nm in diameter. The crystal structure of AgNPs@AV is determined by XRD. The cytotoxicity of AgNPs@AV hybrids is detected by carrying out the cell viability measurement on Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) cells, the results show that no obvious cytotoxicity is observed. Compared with Vera gel and Ag NPs (washed from Vera gel) alone, AgNPs@AV hybrids possess more excellent antibacterial activity on E. coli even at very low concentration.
