Aloe vera, called the "plant of immortality" by ancient Egyptians, has been humanity's healing companion for over 6,000 years. Stone carvings in Egypt dating to 4000 BCE depict aloe vera being presented as burial gifts to pharaohs, ensuring beauty and health in the afterlife.
Cleopatra and Nefertiti credited their legendary beauty to daily aloe vera treatments. They bathed in aloe juice and used it as their primary hair conditioner, believing it was the secret to their lustrous, thick hair that became symbols of their power.
