Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a succulent plant whose thick leaves contain a clear gel and a bitter yellow latex.

Also listed as Aloe, Aloe Barbadensis

The ingredient description is essential

Inner-leaf gel and latex should not be treated as interchangeable. Latex can cause cramps and diarrhea, while the non-decolorized whole-leaf extract has been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans. “Non-decolorized” means it has not undergone activated-carbon treatment to remove toxic anthraquinone components. 1
