Isn't aloe an astringent? It is my understanding that like alum, it constr=
icts pores and inhibits bacterial growth. I think it is also used as a fun=
gicide of sorts. Now, how can this be beneficial to bacterial and fungal g=
rowth?

  Ah, where's the DATA?

  Anything can be said about any product, but without some DATA to support =
the claims, ah, hem.

  Aloe also contains a very toxic material in the leaf, and unless your sou=
rce of aloe is very careful about extraction, the material can be very bad =
news. Be careful with pure aloe. Can have great results, be sure it's jus=
t the gel part of the plant, not the leaf surface.
