While the Aloe Ferox plant is similar to Aloe Vera in many ways, the chemical composition of the aloe gel from its leaves (which is the part of the plant used in skin-care) differs. In Aloe Ferox, the bitter Aloin is found just under the skin and can be easily separated from the gel-like inner leaf. However, in Aloe Vera, the Aloin is found throughout the leaf and is extracted via a chemical process.

Aloe Ferox, unlike Aloe Vera, NEVER has to be filtered. This means it retains all the naturally present active plant chemicals
