OKF, which exports over 300 products to more than 150 markets, is the aloe drink market leader in the West and Asia Pacific, but other drinks manufacturers are also doing well. Korea-based Lotte Chilsung and Tulip International, for example, were cited by Canadean as two of the top performers in this category in 2012. While US-based ALO Drink, which launched in 2009, has already become the number one ready-to-drink aloe vera beverage in the US natural market and has won multiple awards internationally for its products.

Aloe vera gel has a protective effect against radiation damage to the skin. With the threat of nuclear warfare always looming, the U.S. government conducted research on the ability of aloe vera to treat thermal and radiation burns with the aim of introducing its use into the military. Aloe vera was officially listed as a purgative and skin protectant by the U.S. pharmacopoeia in 1820 and was clinically used in the 1930s for the treatment of radiotherapy burns to the skin and mucous membranes. Today, cosmetic companies commonly add sap or other derivatives from aloe vera to a range of products, including makeup, soaps, sunscreens, incense, shaving cream, shampoos, tissues and moisturizers. The plant is even used commercially as an ingredient in yogurts, beverages and desserts.

You may have an aloe vera allergy if you’re allergic to plants of the Liliaceae family– including tulip and lily flowers. Aloeis derived from the Arabic word alloehmeaning ‘bitter and shiny substance’, which might give you an idea of what it tastes like in its natural form. 7 In addition to purchasing an aloe vera product, you also have the option to grow your own aloe plant at home. If you buy a potted plant, keep it in a window that gets a good amount of sunshine because aloes love the sun; the pot can even be moved outdoors during the summer months.
