For adults, aloe vera leaf extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is widely used to calm and moisturize skin and has a low risk for cancer or allergic problems when used as intended.
Use products that are made by reputable brands and follow the product directions. Do a small patch test (apply a little on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours) before using widely, especially if you have sensitive skin. Do not put it in your mouth; it is for skin use only. Avoid using on deep cuts or badly broken skin.
Stop use and talk to a doctor if you get redness, swelling, itching, or breathing problems after using it. Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend limits on concentration and purity — look for products that follow those recommendations. Some laboratory animal studies reported effects at higher doses (peer‑reviewed literature), so if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before using topical products that contain aloe. Also be aware that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety data, so choosing well-documented brands reduces risk.
