Comments: Santa Verde is an organic skin care brand based on pure Aloe Vera juice. The unique thing about this brand, unlike other aloe based brands, is that they use no water at all in their products. It is pure juice from aloe vera grown in their own ‘finca’ in Spain, where everything is cultivated manually. I had the pleasure of listening to Sabine Beer, the MD and co-founder of SantaVerde talk about the line and her passion at in-cosmetics Munich 2009 and it was just mind blowing. You can even visit the finca in Spain and see the stuff being made or get fresh aloe vera from the ground! I knew I had to try it.

Now we all know aloe vera is very soothing and moisturising but ever since I tried this face cream, I have never looked back. My face feels like a baby’s bottom literally. I’ve been using this for about 4 months now and it is amazing stuff. It is also very affordable (at €19.90) for such a good organic product. You can buy this in light, medium or rich depending on how dry/oily your skin is. There is also a choice of fragranced or not. I am struggling to find something bad to say about this. My only complaint would be the shipping charges if you live outside Spain/Germany. These charges translate to a higher cost in other countries.

I certainly recommend this to anyone who has problems with their skin. You may want to get the pure aloe vera gel instead if you feel your skin is overly sensitive.
