Organic Aloe Ferox

All African Male by MenEssentials products contain high concentrations of Aloe Ferox gel, which is harvested and refined by members of the Ikhala Cooperative in South Africa.

Aloe Ferox is indigenous to a single province in South Africa and grows nowhere else on Earth. It has been used for millennia by indigenous peoples of the region to heal topical skin ailments ranging from burns and abrasions to eczema and psoriasis.

Today, Aloe Ferox sap (called the "bitters") is refined for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial functions. The pulp of the leaf itself contains 34 amino acids, 14 enzymes, and numerous biological actives that moisturize, heal, and retexturize skin.

Aloe Ferox is painstakingly hand-harvested in the wild. The plants have not been treated with industrial pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals. They are organically grown and responsibly harvested by Xhosa field workers, known as "tappers," using sustainable development methods that ensure the prosperity of this remarkable natural resource.

From traditional botanical remedy to advanced skin care solution, African Male by MenEssentials is the essence of South Africa in a modern male grooming range.
