Abstract

Aloe vera, a succulent plant that is well known for its medicinal properties, has been utilized for many centuries for its range
of applications. Its rich composition of bioactive compounds such as minerals, vitamins, polysaccharides, and antioxidants
contributes to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties. In skincare, A. vera is extensively
incorporated into cosmetics, moisturizers, and topical treatments due to its hydrating, soothing, and rejuvenating effects on
the skin. Furthermore, A. vera has garnered attention in pharmaceutical research for its potential in drug delivery systems, the
treatment of diabetes, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Its bioactive constituents exhibit promising pharmacological activities,
opening avenues for the development of novel therapeutic agents. In agriculture, A. vera is valued for its role in enhancing
crop yield, soil fertility, and plant resistance to environmental stressors. Its natural growth-promoting compounds facilitate
sustainable agriculture practices, reducing reliance on synthetic inputs and promoting ecological balance. This review explores
the multifaceted uses of A. vera in different fields, including traditional medicine, skincare, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
