Scientific studies on Aloe
Aloe vera is a plant which belongs to the Asphodelaceae family, native to North Africa. It requires plenty of sun and a hot, arid climate, like the one in the south of the Canary Islands, which is perfect for growing it.

Own studies
Sabila or Aloe Barbadensis, one of the more than 300 varieties of the Asphodelaceae family native to North Africa, is the variety with the highest concentration of medicinal properties. This variety is able to develops its best qualities thanks to the privileged conditions of the warm and arid climate of the southern the Canary Islands.
Our products, formulated with Aloe vera and for topical and oral use, have been shown to be highly efficient at reducing and treating radio-induced toxicity in cancer patients.

Aloe vera: general analysis
Aloe vera is a natural product often used in the cosmetics field
Although there are many indications for its use, controlled trials are necessary to determine its true efficacy. The aloe vera plant, its properties, mechanism of action and clinical uses are briefly examined in this article.

The regenerating power of aloe vera
5000 years ago
Aloe juice has been used for centuries for its extraordinary hydrating, regenerative, nourishing and healing properties. Over 5000 years ago, it was used by Egyptians for curative purposes.
Until 1935
However, we had to wait until 1935 to find the first scientific study relating to the curative power of Aloe vera, which was carried out by Doctors E. and C. Collins.
In 1959
In 1959, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recognised that products containing Aloe vera help with skin regeneration. This was the major discovery which launched products made with Aloe vera.
Since the 70s
As a result, since the 70s, the Aloe vera industry has not stopped growing.

Excellent quality raw materials
Our main raw material is Aloe vera grown in the Canaries. The Canarian climate ensures that the plant grows in an optimal environment and that it naturally contains a high quantity of active ingredients and minerals.
Cultivation
The aloe vera used by Atlantia has the "Organic farming" designation awarded by CRAE (Organic agriculture regulatory board)
This 100% organic Aloe vera is not genetically modified and no synthetic fertilisers, pesticides or fungicides have been used to grow it.
Harvest
The leaves are harvested when the plant is 4 or 5 years old
The main reason for doing this is because it has reached the optimal size so that the plant contains the adequate quantities of all its substances.
A careful and advanced manufacturing process
Obtaining the juice
Harvest
When the plant is 4 or 5 years old, the time that is reaches the optimal size so that it contains the adequate quantities of all its substances, we harvest very carefully by hand.
Cut
We take the recently cut fresh leaves directly to the laboratory to extract their juice.
Peel
The green-coloured external layer which covers the leaf is peeled and the substance which appears between the skin and the gel, a substance rich in resins and anthraquinones – aloin and aloe-emodin – which have a highly laxative effect, is discarded.
Processing the pulp
Extract
Once the aloe leaf is peeled, the next step involves the extraction, where a white-toned gelatinous mass is obtained.
Filter
It is subsequently filtered to remove impurities and unwanted elements. Filtering turns the gelatinous mass into a liquid, or Aloe vera juice.
Cold stabilisation
We store the juice in refrigerated stainless steel tanks to guarantee
that all of its properties are preserved for as long as possible.
Manufacturing
Once the juice is cold stabilised, we combine it with other active ingredients and excipients
to boost the benefits of the Aloe vera, to improve its efficacy, and to offer the
purest, most pleasant and effective line of care, health and beauty products on the market.A large number of the products that we find on the market use aloe concentrates or dehydrated powder (reconstituted lyophilised Aloe). Our products are prepared directly with pure aloe pulp and our manufacturing processes ensure that the aloe maintains its biological characteristics.
