Also, a growth hormone is known as gibberellin, and a polysaccharide known as glucomannan affect the active cells of skin connective tissues also known as fibroblast. On the next level, the fibroblast activates hyaluronic acid production, elastin, and collagen, which results in skin smoothness, and firmness.
Additionally, its moisturizing quality is due to mucopolysaccharides (a long sugar molecule chain) which absorb moisture into the skin. Also, a large concentration of amino acids provides softness to the skin quality. Plus, aloe vera gel has zero greasiness and is great in balancing the natural pH of your skin.
