For adults (men and women), aloe vera leaf extract is generally safe for skin. Most people can use it without problems and it’s often included in moisturizers and after-sun products.
Use products as directed. If you’ve never used a product with aloe before, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Choose products that say the aloe is purified or processed to remove latex-like compounds. Don’t apply to deep cuts or raw, broken skin. Stop use if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash.
Rare allergic reactions and skin irritation can occur, often due to latex-like parts or impurities in the extract — this is noted by industry safety reviews and some scientific studies (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and peer-reviewed literature). Some safety panels recommend limits on concentration and control of impurities, so avoid products that don’t list how the aloe was processed or that contain whole-leaf latex. Seek medical care if you have severe swelling, hives, breathing trouble, or a spreading skin reaction.
