The aloe plant is employed as a dietary supplement in a variety of food and as an ingredient in cosmetic products. The widespread human exposure and its potential toxic and carcinogenic activities raise safety concerns. Recently, Aloe vera whole leaf extract showed clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in rats, and was classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B). This review presents updated information on the toxicological effects, including the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and adverse clinical effects of Aloe vera whole leaf extract, gel, and latex. Aloe vera is an herbaceous and perennial plant that belongs to the Liliaceae family and used for many medical purposes. The present study aimed to systematically review clinical trails regarding the effect of Aloe vera on the prevention and healing of skin wounds. The medical value of the plant is recognized since centuries because of the gel like pulp obtained by peeling its leaves. Its juice has cooling properties, is anabolic in action, a fighter of pitta, storehouse of phytochemical and guards against fever, skin diseases, burns, ulcer, boils eruptions etc. Commercially, aloe can be found in pills, sprays, ointments, lotions, liquids, drinks, jellies, and creams, to name a few of the thousands of products available. It also acts as a laxative beauty enhancer and studies have shown that it has an effect on lowering blood sugar level in diabetics. The main limitation of the current clinical knowledge about aloe vera is small clinical studies that often lack rigorous methodology. Several clinical trails are being conducted to further confirm traditional uses of aloe vera gel for a variety of disorders, as well as to further confirm traditional uses of the plant extract. The external use in cosmetic primarily acts as skin healer and prevents injury of epithelial tissues, cures acne and gives a youthful glow to skin.
