Lily of the Desert

Lily of the Desert is a privately owned and operated manufacturer of organic aloe vera products, as well as healthy supplements, foods and beverages.

Founded in 1971, Lily of the Desert is privately owned and operated by the Lovelace Family headquartered in Denton, Texas. Continuing the Lily motto "Retaining the Quality that Nature Created," Lily becomes the largest U.S. grower and processor of aloe vera products in the natural products industry in 1991. Lily products can be found in 99% of natural product stores and major grocery chains across the U.S., creating a strong and loyal brand following.

As the #1 seller of aloe vera products in the natural products industry, Lily of the Desert continues to guarantee the highest quality aloe vera that delivers maximum health benefits in every bottle.

Being a science-driven company, we strive to make aloe products that offer the most efficacious aloe benefits while retaining the quality that nature created. Our entire product line contains polysaccharide-rich Aloesorb™, which has been clinically proven to:

• support a healthy immune system
• enhance antioxidant support
• reduce toxic nitrate levels
• improve absorption of nutrients

Aloe Vera

 Aloe vera is an excellent addition to a healthy maintenance regimen, and some of its most well-known benefits include:

• helps support a healthy digestive system
• helps sustain and promote healthy regularity
• supports a healthy immune system
• assists antioxidant support
• reduces toxins in the body
• supports normal muscle and joint functions
• moisturizes and hydrates the skin.

Internal Benefits

Studies of a generic aloe commissioned by the International Aloe Science Council confirm that taking daily vitamin supplements with aloe vera juice instead of water can improve the bioavailability (absorption) of the supplements. One study showed an increase of over 204% absorption of Vitamin C & E when using generic aloe gel (fillet). Another study showed an increase of 210% absorption of Vitamin C and 180% of Vitamin B12 when using generic aloe juice (fillet). Generic whole leaf juice resulted in 140% increase of Vitamin C and 160% increased absorption of vitamin B12.

External Benefits

Aloe vera can promote healthier skin. Aloe researchers also report that aloe can hydrate through three epidermal layers of the skin when used topically. Aloe provides the benefit of driving nutrients and other constituents into the deeper layers of the skin, which promotes epidermal health. Aloe vera can be used to:

• Provide hydration to the skin
• Promote an attractive, refreshed and healthy appearance
• Reduce the appearance of damaged skin
• Cool and soothe the skin after prolonged sun exposure

Most aloe topical products at retail stores contain less than 1% – 10% aloe vera in creams, lotions, and other body products. Studies have shown that a minimum of 30% concentration of aloe is necessary to receive the benefits of aloe. Lily of the Desert topical products contain up to 99% organic aloe vera.
