Our Products
The Gentle Healer Aloe Vera products are all made from sustainably and organically cultivated Aloe Vera. Our products are not made from Aloe Vera Powder. The Aloe Vera leaves are processed within a couple of hours of being harvesting to ensure a top quality raw product. This raw product is then formulated into the various products. We have endeavored to keep the processing to a minimum and kept our products as natural as possible without compromising the stability. The processes ensure that only safe levels of Aloin or Latex (the laxative component of Aloe Vera leaf) are contained in our products.

Testimonial
I used Gentle Healers Aloe Vera Gel on my 5 year old son, who has been struggling with a skin infection/rash for almost 6 months, we tried numerous creams and antibiotics but nothing seemed to work until I tried the gel and within 3 days it cleared. I have also used the Animal Shampoo and rubbed in the gel on my little jack russell who also has a skin problem and has been taking prescribed medicine for it, I saw a difference within a few hours, she hasn't been scratching nearly as much and the skin redness has subsided. I am thrilled by the results.
Testimonial
My dog had a large growth which on her tummy, which the Vet said could only be removed with an operation but he would not recommend it because of her age. A college at work recommended that I use the Gentle Healers Aloe Vera Gel. After a week of applying it, the growth had shrunk by half. I had recently had a knee operation and was still struggling with pain and swelling. After applying the Aloe Vera Gel a couple of times I could already feel the difference and the swelling of my knee reduced a lot. The scar was healing much quicker too. I continue to apply it daily.
