Nowadays the Aruba Aloe Balm N.V. uses aloe vera especially as a raw product for skin care products. Houses of clay, made from mud and dry cactus were used in the 17th century. The typical Aruban house made of lime stone can still be seen everywhere over the island. After 1900 modern constructions became more common. There are about 40 entrepreneurs who cultivate approximately 25 hectares - mostly part time.
Agricultural products vary from eggplants to sweet potatoes.
