Our raw products are applied to a vast range of the health and cosmetic products Aloe Ferox possesses a large variety of amino acids which makes it ideal for this industry from capsulation to liquid health drinks.

The Aloe gel is used medicinally and in topical cosmetics for its soothing properties while the unique aloe polysaccharides boost the immune system. The soluble and insoluble fiber that is found in Aloe Ferox also promotes normal digestive function.
Our bitter fraction products (Bitter Crystals and Bitter Powder) are also used by farmers to rid their livestock of internal and external parasites. This is particularly effective for those who farm organically.

Natural Healing:

Centuries before the healing properties of plants became popular on the world stage the indigenous people of Southern Africa made use of the Aloe Ferox plant. The Khoi and San people still partake in the healing and regenerative powers of the plant. The ancient art of tapping the bitter sap from the leaves is still practiced and forms an important part of local tradition. Today the Aloe Ferox plant has been accepted world wide for its superior antiseptic, cleansing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties.  




San rock paintings of aloes
(possibly Aloe ferox)



Unique San rock-painting of Aloes discovered


During recent fieldwork in the Eastern cape, Sven Ouzman and Gabriel Tlhapi chanced upon a rock shelter in which they discovered 35 rock paintings of aloes. This is only the third known rock-painting site of plants and the first with aloes.

Collaboration with Ziets Zietsman, botanist at the national Museum suggests these aloes could be aloe ferox- a plant well known for its many medicinal uses as well as having a narcotic nectar. The full results for this unique find will be published in the South African Journal of Science in 2001.
