Our Residents enjoyed the experience of smelling the products and testing out the moisturisers on their skin as well as listening with interest about this amazing product.
Aloe Vera has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes, dating back to ancient Egypt. The plant is native to North Africa, Southern Europe, and the Canary Islands. Today, Aloe Vera is grown in tropical climates worldwide.
