Expert Verdict

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (aloe vera) contains acemannan mucopolysaccharide as the primary wound-active constituent, exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties, moisturizing effects, and promotion of fibroblast activity. Purified forms are safe at cosmetic use levels; raw/unrefined aloe can contain anthraquinones (phototoxic and allergenic if >50 ppm). EU and US permit properly purified forms. Wound-healing claims may trigger drug classification in both regions.
