One of the most wonderful things about the Aloe Ferox aloe is that it is harvested directly from the wild in its natural state. This ensures that plants have not been treated with pesticides, fertilizers, or any chemical additives and are absolutely pure and organically grown. There is more than enough of the renewable resource to ensure that it does not need to be cultivated. It is a robust aloe that grows to over 2m high. Seven to eight leaves are harvested from the bottom of each plant each year without damaging the growth tip of this spiky, succulent plant. This harvesting method has the advantage that harvesting can be done in the wild without doing any damage to the plants.

Comments = When I was in South Africa in October, 2007 I bought a tube of Alcare Aloe Ferox Hand and Body Cream at a tourist site in Capetown. I especially like the fact that this cream comes with or without fragrance. (I prefer it perfume-free so it won't conflict with my perfume.)The cream is thick and rich and instantly sinks into my skin, leaving it smooth and soft and silky with no oily residue. I liked the hand and body cream so much that I also bought a jar of Alcare Aloe Night Cream Ultra Plus which also comes with or without perfume, and which instantly soothes and smooths my dry skin. When I returned to the United States I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the Alcare products at a reasonable cost. I searched the Internet and found Divine Choices which sells a large line of Alcare at prices that are not much more than what I paid in South Africa. In addition, Barb at Divine Choices was amazingly helpful and efficient in filling my order.
I live in Connecticut which has a fiercely cold winter climate with temperatures frequently around zero fahrenheit.
