The short version
Aloe leaf extract is the fourth name on the label. It comes from the thick leaves of the aloe plant and is known for soothing, hydrating compounds that help skin feel comfortable.*
Where it comes from
Aloe is a succulent that stores water in its fleshy leaves. Inside each leaf is a clear gel. That gel is the part used in skin care. Aloe has been grown for this purpose for thousands of years.
Why it is in the spray
Nails are surrounded by skin, and that skin can feel dry after long days in socks and shoes. Aloe helps hydrate and soothe that area. It also works on two goals at once in the formula: comfort, with lavender oil, and moisture, with the four-oil blend.*
What you will notice
Aloe has almost no scent and helps the spray feel light rather than heavy.
Tip: Pair your spray with a fresh pair of breathable socks. Our socks and shoes guide explains why.
