Water plays a key role in diluting and dissolving skincare ingredients, aiding their absorption by the skin. Water is also the
cheapest ingredient in cosmetics, leading most brands to prioritize it as the primary component. Many skincare products use
water types such as deionized water, mineral water, or glacial water—all of which are exogenous , not fully homologous
to human tissue fluids. After passing through the skin's epidermal barrier via multiple "filtration" layers, only a limited
amount of such water (and the ingredients dissolved in it) can be effectively absorbed.
In fresh Aloe Vera leaves, water accounts for approximately 95% of their total weight. This water is a natural, biologically
active water, also known as "slippery water" , which holds significant value in cosmetics, healthcare, and medicine. Studies
reveal that "slippery water" differs fundamentally from exogenous water: it exhibits ultra-low viscosity and flows twice as
fast along pipe walls compared to exogenous water. This unique property of accelerated flow rate enhances the delivery
and rapid absorption of aloe polysaccharides from fresh aloe leaves into the human body, promoting cellular proliferation.
