The Proven Potency and Benefits of GUNILLA® & LEROSETT® Skincare Based on Hydroponic Greenhouse-grown Organic Aloe Vera
GUNILLA® & LEROSETT® products contain over 60% nutrient-infused hydroponically grown organic aloe and are therapeutic by nature. Hydroponically grown aloe vera is rich in antioxidants, combats free radicals, and has potent youth-enhancing anti-inflammatory properties. Our nutrient-infused organic aloe allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin while increasing collagen to help heal the skin. Our unique hydroponic aloe is hand-planted and grown without pesticides or herbicides.
Aloe can penetrate tissue – Unlike water, aloe can be absorbed by the skin. It is absorbed deep into the skin’s layers due to lignin, a substance similar to cellulose. When used as the main ingredient, this ability allows aloe to act as an excellent carrier for the other components of aloe vera and other botanicals and active ingredients. –The clinically proven effective ingredients in GUNILLA® products are even more effective within an organic aloe base instead of water.
Aloe has antimicrobial properties – The antimicrobial compounds in aloe include saponin, which has antiseptic properties, and barbaloin, which prevents the growth of Mycobacterium, bacteria famous for causing severe bacterial infections. A 1979 study by Heggers et al. showed that aloe in concentrations greater than 60% is lethal against various organisms. Bacteria is a leading cause of acne. -When aloe is in concentrations greater than 60% is lethal against various organisms.
Aloe is anti-inflammatory – Aloe contains natural salicylic acid, an anti-inflammatory beta-hydroxy acid, and a gentle exfoliant. It also includes sterols that inhibit acute inflammation, similar to cortisone but without side effects. Instead of water, GUNILLA®® uses over 60% hydro-organic aloe vera as a base; this aloe alone is clinically shown to reduce swelling and inflammation by an average of 47%. When used in a concentration of over 50%, organic aloe vera is the perfect ingredient for skincare.
Aloe’s ability to heal damaged skin – Scientific research has shown that several components in aloe are responsible for the substance’s excellent ability to regenerate cells. These include gibberellin, a growth hormone-like substance that increases protein synthesis, and lectin, a protein that increases collagen activity and improves the collagen matrix. As a result, LEROSETT® & GUNILLA® products help heal and improve skin health.
