Vera Balm: Aloe Vera-Based Burn Balm with Dual Functionality as a Mosquito Repellent

Abstract

This study describes the creation and assessment of the VeraBalm, a natural skincare product, which is developed according to high-quality organic formula, consisting of pure aloe vera extract, beeswax, shea butter, eucalyptus oil, and citronella oil. The main ingredient, aloe vera is sourced from VeraBalm Co, that uses the vertical gardening techniques to maximize land use yet promote sustainability. The product targets the rising demand of consumers for organic and non-toxic substitutes for skincare. Testing done in a laboratory verified that VeraBalm does not have any acceptable level of lead hence complying with the safety guidelines of cosmetics by the U.S. food and drug administered (FDA). Treatment showed that VeraBalm is not only safe, but also effective, brings immediate relief and accelerates healing of minor burns, and possesses the properties of a mosquito repellent. These findings posit that VeraBalm provides dual-purpose, Eco-friendly skin care and insect repelling solution.
