Back in 1840 the Aloe Vera wonder plant was introduced in Aruba, influencing everything from art and architecture to health and healing. Soon, two- third of Aruba's surface was covered with Aloe Vera plants and we called our island the 'Island of Aloe', being the world's largest exporter of Aloe.
In 1890, the first Aloe Vera plants were planted on 150 acres of land at Hato that are still used today to grow the Aloe for all Aruba Aloe products.
The fierce southern Caribbean sun and Aruba's desert environment intensifies the plant's natural healing qualities and produces the earths most potent aloe gel to revitalize skin and help repair skin damage. It has grown into an entire line of skin care products known around the world for its moisturizing benefits. Aruba Aloe is making great strides in global research studies with Aloe and is leading the way with a line of moisturizing products that can be found in homes all over the world. Try Island Remedy, Aruba Aloe's latest upscale line of products made with 100% pure Aruba Aloe Vera Gel and enriched with the finest natural extracts from a wide range of known remedial plants.
