Aloe Vera vs. Aqua

A look at the ingredients (INCI) often reveals more about a brand’s philosophy than any advertising claim. The first word on the list is crucial, as it forms the foundation of the product.

At ALL YOU NEAT., we strategically use water and aloe vera where they have the greatest impact.

The Face Wash: Aloe Vera as a Powerhouse

In our Face Wash, we made a radical decision: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is listed first.

While conventional cleansers often consist of 70% plain water (Aqua), which evaporates quickly during washing and can dry out the skin, we use aloe vera as an active ingredient. This ensures that cleansing not only removes dirt but also soothes and intensely hydrates the skin while you wash. That’s why your face feels relaxed, not tight, after using ALL YOU NEAT.

The Face Cream: Precision Through Aqua & Aloe

In the Ultimate Age Defense Face Cream, Aqua is the primary ingredient, followed by a high concentration of aloe vera and high-quality lipids. Why? Because a high-performance cream is a complex delivery system.

1. Active Ingredient Delivery: In this specific formula, water serves as an indispensable carrier to precisely deliver water-soluble active ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin.

2. Texture & Absorption: The combination of Aqua and Aloe Vera allows the cream to absorb in seconds, leaving a matte finish without forming a greasy film—a key advantage for daily use.

3. The Synergy: Even though Aqua forms the base, the subsequent high concentration of Aloe Vera ensures that the cream retains its regenerative and cooling effects, which are especially essential after shaving or on stressed skin.

The Quick Check: Why We Take Both Approaches

Face Wash -> Aloe Vera - Maximum soothing and moisture protection during cleansing.

Face Cream -> Aqua - Optimal viscosity and deep penetration of high-tech active ingredients.

NEAT Fact: Regardless of its position in the list, we use only pure, direct-pressed aloe vera juice. This guarantees that the plant’s valuable enzymes and vitamins remain bioactive and have not been destroyed by drying processes.

Experience the synergy

The combination makes all the difference: The intensive aloe cleansing optimally prepares the pores so that the highly concentrated active ingredients in the Face Cream can be perfectly absorbed.
