Usage Benefits: Aloe vera, enriched with vitamins A, B, C, and folic acid, along with essential fatty acids, amino acids, and trace elements like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, is beneficial for both hair and skin. Its proteolytic enzymes repair dead skin cells on the scalp, promoting hair growth, alleviating scalp itchiness, and diminishing dandruff.
