FAQ’s
What is the classification of aloin?

Can aloin be used on the skin?
Aloin is a natural depigmenting substance that has been demonstrated to lighten skin and function well as a nontoxic hyperpigmentation therapy.
What is the mechanism of action of aloin?
Aloin inhibits the collagenase enzyme in Clostridium histolyticum in a reversible and non-competitive manner, increasing the number of fibroblast cells produced by the skin. While many cosmetic products claim to include collagen, aloe really stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production.
