Aloe vera, a succulent plant that is well known for its medicinal properties, has been utilized for many centuries for its rangeof applications. Its rich composition of bioactive compounds such as minerals, vitamins, polysaccharides, and antioxidants contributes to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties. In skincare, A. vera is extensively incorporated into cosmetics, moisturizers, and topical treatments due to its hydrating, soothing, and rejuvenating effects on the skin. Furthermore, A. vera has garnered attention in pharmaceutical research for its potential in drug delivery systems, the treatment of diabetes, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Its bioactive constituents exhibit promising pharmacological activities, opening avenues for the development of novel therapeutic agents. In agriculture, A. vera is valued for its role in enhancing crop yield, soil fertility, and plant resistance to environmental stressors. Its natural growth-promoting compounds facilitate sustainable agriculture practices, reducing reliance on synthetic inputs and promoting ecological balance. This review explores the multifaceted uses of A. vera in different fields, including traditional medicine, skincare, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
