The first known written reports on the juice of the Aloe Vera plant reach as far back as 6,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. Both Cleopatra and Nefertiti greatly valued the juice and used it as a part of their daily skin and beauty care. The usage of aloe was regarded as the pursuit of physical beauty. Aloe was known as the Plant of Eternity. Its anti-inflammatory and pain soothing effect was documented in the 'papyrus Eber' of 1,550 BC.
