The difference between Aloe ferox and Aloe vera.

Aloe Ferox is a species of aloe that is native to Africa and grows wild in its natural habitat without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers. It is commonly known as the Cape Aloe or Bitter Aloe, and is often compared to Aloe Vera. However, the two plants are quite different.

Aloe Ferox contains almost double the amount of amino acids compared to Aloe Vera, and has 20 times more bitter sap containing the powerful agent Aloin.

Aloin is an antioxidant and viral stimulant that is known for its healing properties, and is found just under the skin of Aloe Ferox leaves. In contrast, Aloe Vera contains very little sap and the Aloin is found throughout the leaf and must be extracted through a chemical process.

Aloe Ferox is also rich in polysaccharides and other plant metabolites, which contribute to its skin-care benefits. It is able to penetrate the skin to the deepest layer and helps to keep the skin hydrated, nourished, and revitalized. In addition, Aloe Ferox contains a range of active ingredients and vitamins that have medicinal properties. For example, it has a dilatory effect on capillaries and veins, which helps to increase the transport of nutrients to the skin and promote rejuvenation and regeneration. It also stimulates normal lymphocytes and possesses enzymes that stimulate the growth of new cells. Aloe Ferox is also a source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors.

Aloe Ferox is a large and showy plant that forms a dense rosette of green, lance-shaped leaves. The leaves feature dark brown spines along the edges and on the leaf surfaces, and the plant blooms striking red-orange flowers in the winter that resemble furry flames. In contrast, Aloe Vera is a stemless or short-stemmed plant with thick, greenish, fleshy leaves that fan out from the central stem. The margin of the leaves is serrated with small teeth.
