ORGANIC ALOE VERA OIL

It includes aloesin, a chemical that affects skin tone by interfering with melanin formation by inhibiting it, resulting in skin lightening. Because UV radiation causes dark spots and pigmentation, Aloe Vera oil is used to lessen the severity of these spots. Because of its capacity to relieve inflammation, blistering, and itching, Pure Aloe Vera Oil can aid in the treatment of acne. It can also be used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rashes. It includes mucopolysaccharides, which help the skin retain moisture. It increases collagen and elastin fiber formation, making skin more elastic, supple, plump, softer, and younger appearing. It may also aid in the prevention of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks.

A person with short stature, or restricted growth, does not grow as tall as other people of the same gender, age, and ethnicity. The person's height is below the 3rd percentile.

Short stature can be a variant of normal growth, or it may indicate a disorder or condition.

Growth rate is an important indicator of overall health. Children who do not reach the 5th percentile by the age of 5 years are said to be small for gestational age (SGA). A pediatrician will look out for signs of "failure to thrive."

Early intervention can prevent future problems in many cases.

Normally, at 8 years of age, a child's arm span is around the same as their height. If these measurements are out of proportion, this may be a sign of disproportionate short stature (DSS), sometimes known as "dwarfism."

Fast facts on short stature

Here are some key points about short stature. More detail is in the main article.

• Short stature can happen for a wide range of reasons, including having small parents, malnutrition, and genetic conditions such as achondroplasia.

• Proportionate short stature (PSS) is when the person is small, but all the parts are in the usual proportions. In disproportionate short stature (DSS), the limbs may be small compared with the trunk.

• If short stature results from a growth hormone (GH) deficiency, GH treatment can often boost growth.

• Some people may experience long-term medical complications, but intelligence is not usually affected.

Causes

Growth depends on a complex range of factors, including genetic makeup, nutrition, and hormonal influences.

The most common cause of short stature is having parents whose height is below average, but around 5 percent of children with short stature have a medical condition.

Conditions that can underlie short stature include:

• Undernutrition, due to a disease or lack of nutrients

• Hypothyroidism, leading to a lack of growth hormone

• A tumor in the pituitary gland

• Diseases of the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, or gastrointestinal tract

• Conditions that affect the production of collagen and other proteins

• Some chronic diseases, such as celiac disease and other inflammatory disorders

• Mitochondrial disease, which can affect the body in different ways, including growth

Sometimes, an injury to the head during childhood can lead to reduced growth.

A lack of growth hormone can also lead to delayed or absent sexual development.

Rheumatologic diseases, such as arthritis, are linked to short stature. This may happen because of the disease, or as a result of the glucocorticoid treatment, which can affect the release of growth hormone.

Disproportionate short stature (DSS) usually stems from a genetic mutation that affects the development of bone and cartilage and undermines physical growth.

The parents may not have short stature, but they may pass on a condition that is linked to DSS, such as achondroplasia, mucopolysaccharide disease, and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED).

Types

There are different types and causes of short stature, or restricted growth, and they will present differently. Because the range of conditions is so broad, restricted growth can be classified in various ways.

One categorization is:

• Variant restricted growth

• Proportionate short stature (PSS)

• Disproportionate short stature (DSS)

Each of these categories includes a number of types and causes of short stature.

Variant restricted growth

Sometimes a person is small but otherwise healthy. This can be referred to as variant restricted growth. It may happen for genetic or hormonal reasons.

If the parents are also small, this can be called familial short stature (FSS). If it stems from a hormonal issue, it is a constitutional delay in growth and adolescence (CDGA).

The limbs and the head develop in proportion with the spine, and the individual is otherwise healthy.

Growth happens throughout the body, so the legs, for example, are in proportion with the spine.

In most cases, the individual's parents are also small, but sometimes small stature happens because the body does not produce enough growth hormone (GH), or the body does not process growth hormone properly. This is known as GH insensitivity. Hypothyrodism can lead to low hormone production.

Growth hormone treatment during childhood may help.

Proportionate short stature (PSS)

Sometimes, overall growth is restricted, but the person's body is in proportion, and the individual has a related health problem. This is known as proportionate short stature (PSS).

If the individual is heavy for their height, this can suggest a hormone problem. The problem could be hypothyroidism, excess glucorticoid production, or too little GH.

A person who is small and their weight is low for their height may be experiencing malnutrition, or they may have a disorder that leads to malabsorption.

Whatever the underlying reason, if it affects overall growth, it may impact development in at least one body system, so treatment is needed.

During adulthood, a person with this type of restricted growth is more likely to experience:

• osteoporosis

• cardiovascular problems

• reduced muscle strength

Rarely, there may be cognitive problems, or problems with thinking. This depends on the cause of the short stature.

Disproportionate short stature (DSS)

Disproportionate short stature (DSS) is linked to a genetic mutation. The parents are usually of average height. As with other types of short stature, a range underlying causes is possible.

An individual with DSS will be small in height, and they will have other unusual physical features. These may be visible at birth, or they may develop in time as the infant develops.

Most individuals will have an average-sized trunk and short limbs, but some people may have a very short trunk and shortened, but disproportionately large limbs. Head size may be disproportionately large.

Intelligence or cognitive abilities are unlikely to be affected unless the person has hydrocephalus, or too much fluid around the brain.

Achondroplasia underlies around 70 percent of cases of DSS. It affects around 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 40,000 people.

Features include:

• an average-sized trunk

• short limbs, especially the upper arms and legs

• short fingers, possibly with a wide space between the middle and ring fingers

• limited mobility in the elbows

• a large head with a prominent forehead and flattened bridge of the nose

• bowed legs

• lordosis, a progressive development of a swayed lower back

• average adult height of 4 feet, or 122 cm

Hypochondroplasia is a mild form of achondroplasia. It may be difficult to differentiate between familial short stature and achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia result from a genetic mutation.

Genetic conditions, such as Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, or Prader Willi syndrome, are also linked to DSS.

Diagnosis

Some types of short stature can be diagnosed at birth. In other cases, routine visits to a pediatrician should reveal any abnormal growth pattern.

The doctor will record the child's head circumference, height, and weight.

If the doctor suspects restricted growth, they will carry out a physical examination, look at the child's medical and family history, and possibly carry out some tests.

These may include:

An x-ray, to assess for problems with bone development

An insulin tolerance test, to check for a deficiency in the growth hormone insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

In this test, insulin is injected into a vein, causing blood glucose levels to drop. Normally, this would trigger the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). If GH levels are lower than normal, there may be a GH deficiency.

Other tests include:

• a thyroid-stimulating hormone test, to check for hypothyroidism

• a complete blood count, to test for anemia

• metabolic tests, to assess liver and kidney function

• erythrocyte sedimentation and C-reactive protein tests, to assess for inflammatory bowel disease

• urine tests can check for enzyme deficiency disorders

• tissue transglutinase and immunoglobulin A tests, for celiac disease

• imaging scans, such as an x-ray of the skeleton and the skull or an MRI, can detect problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus

• bone marrow or skin biopsies may help confirm conditions associated with short stature

Treatment

Treatment will depend on the cause of the short stature.

If there are signs of malnutrition, the child may need nutritional supplements or treatment for a bowel disorder or other condition that is preventing them from absorbing nutrients.

If growth is restricted or delayed because of a hormonal problem, GH treatment may be necessary.

Pediatric hormone treatment: In children who produce too little GH, a daily injection of hormone treatment may stimulate physical growth later in life. Medications, such as somatropin, may eventually add 4 inches, or 10 centimeters, to adult height.

Adult hormone treatment

: Treatment for adults can help protect against complications, for example, cardiovascular disease and low bone mineral density.

Somatropin, also known as recombinant GH, might be recommended for people who:

• have a severe growth hormone deficiency

• experience impaired quality of life

• are already receiving treatment for another pituitary hormone deficiency

Adult patients generally self-administer daily with an injection.

Adverse effects of somatropin include headache, muscle pain, edema, or fluid retention, problems with eyesight, joint pain, vomiting, and nausea.

The patient may receive treatment to control chronic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease, and arthritis.

Treatment for DSS

As DSS often stems from a genetic disorder, treatment focuses mainly on the complications.

Some patients with very short legs may undergo leg lengthening. The leg bone is broken and then fixed into a special frame. The frame is adjusted daily to lengthen the bone.

This does not always work, it takes a long time, and there is a risk of complications, including:

• pain

• the bone forming badly or at an inappropriate rate

• infection

• deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a vein

Other possible surgical treatments include:

• use of growth plates, where metal staples are inserted into the ends of long bones where growth takes place, to help bones grow in the right direction

• inserting staples or rods to help the spine form the right shape

• increasing the size of the opening in the bones of the spine to reduce pressure on the spinal cord

Regular monitoring can reduce the risk of complications.

Complications

A person with DSS may experience a number of complications.

These include:

• arthritis later in life

• delayed mobility development

• dental problems

• bowed legs

• hearing problems and otitis media

• hydrocephalus, or too much fluid in the brain cavities

• hunching of the back

• limb problems

• swaying of the back

• narrowing of the channel in the lower spine during adulthood and other spine problem

• sleep apnea

• weight gain

• speech and language problems

Individuals with proportionate short stature (PSS) may have poorly developed organs and pregnancy complications, such as respiratory problems. Delivery will normally be by cesarean section.

Outlook

Most people with short stature will have a normal life expectancy, and 90 percent of children who are small for their age at 2 years will "catch up" by adulthood.

The 10 percent who do not catch up are likely to have a condition such as fetal alcohol, Prader-Willi, or Down syndrome.

A person with achondroplasia can also expect a normal lifespan.

However, some serious conditions that are linked to some cases of short stature can be fatal.

Aluminum salt solutions are the most common antiperspirants in use today.[58] Several studies have shown that aluminum salts cause an obstruction of the distal sweat gland ducts.[59] A mechanism underlying this obstruction has been proposed: the metal ions precipitate with mucopolysaccharides, damaging epithelial cells along the lumen of the duct and forming a plug that blocks sweat output.[58] Sweat is still produced, as evidenced by the appearance of miliaria (prickly heat) during heat stress, with sweat building up behind the obstruction created by the metallic salt.[59] Normal sweat gland function returns with epidermal renewal, however, necessitating retreatment once or twice a week.[58]

your sweat ducts are full of sweat when youj wear antiperspirant....

i know the more official word is glycosaminoglycan but mucopolysaccharide is more fun to say

[i-talk-about-plants-to-strangers]

Aloe is a genus for over 600 varieties of flowering succulents. Aloe vera is probably the best known of these, typically for its high content of acemannan, a mucopolysaccharide with just. A ton of things it can do.

Fun fact, I am actually allergic to Aloe vera products (my skin gets very painful when it's applied) but I didn't realize this for god knows how long because I only ever used it for sunburns.

But typically, its used in lotions, for bites, minor burns, skin abrasions, and windburn.

Aloe skin contains aloin, sometimes known as barbaloin, which is toxic and is apparently used as a stimulant laxative and when dried it's occasionally used as a bittering agent for alcohol. A notable thing here is that a lot of varieties of aloe can be used to make these 'purgative medications' if you will. Because aloin. Yeah.

Sorry I didn't mean to spend the aloe post talking about laxatives but that is a good 60% of the information I'm finding.

TIME TO GET SCIENTIFIC I THINK

Returning to acemannan, it's currently in use for treatment of fibrosarcoma in pets (a type of tumor thing in muscle tissue). In fact, acemannan apparently induce macrophages to secrete tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon (IFN), and interleukins (IL-1). Essentially it seems to have antiviral potential and even could prevent things like HIV. (I need to double check sources on this, but from what I've seen so far it seems accurate which is cool as hell. Essentially the in vitro studies (test on microbes) it worked but in vivo (test on larger things) didn't.)

Today is World Sanfilippo Awareness Day! That's right I said it!

National Sanfilippo Awareness Day is so important! So spread the word! The Cure Sanfilippo Foundation runs this event to support those living with Sanfilippo syndrome or a parent who has a child with Sanfilippo!

To give you all the background on this condition

(I got my Information here: https://teamsanfilippo.org/what-is-sanfilippo-syndrome)

Sanfilippo syndrome is a genetic error of metabolism. It is a mucopolysaccharidosis, an MPS disorder, MPS. Mucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules, which are used in building connective tissues. When the body is finished using these molecules, it breaks them down with enzymes and disposes of them. Children with Sanfilippo syndrome are missing or are deficient in the enzyme to break down the molecules. Instead, the body stores these molecules in the cells. This storage causes progressive damage.

There are four different types of Sanfilippo syndrome. Each type is different and named according to which enzyme is missing or defective.

Sanfilippo Type A is the most common. It is considered the most severe type with earlier death than the others. These children are deficient in the enzyme Heparan N-sulfatase.

Sanfilippo Type B is the second most common. This is the result of a deficiency in N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminidase.

Sanfilippo Type C is caused by a deficiency in acetyl-CoAlpha-glucosaminide acetyltransferase.

Sanfilippo Type D is caused by a deficiency in N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase.

Sanfilippo syndrome was first described in 1963 by Dr. Sylvester Sanfilippo and is considered rare, with an occurrence of 1 in every 70,000 births. It is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder, which means, both parents must be carriers in order for the child to be affected. There is a one in four chance of having a child born with Sanfilippo syndrome. There is a two in three chance that unaffected children will be carriers.

Sanfilippo syndrome is a progressive disorder, meaning that at birth the children appear typical and do not show signs of the disorder. As the disease progresses, the children degenerate, losing the ability to speak, walk, eat, and eventually lose their lives.

In the first stage of the disorder, it is noticed that the child lags and develops sleep and behavioral issues; most have frequent ear and or throat infections and often recurrent loose bowels. The child may also have a larger-than-average head size.

In the second stage, the child may become extremely active, restless, and often have very difficult behavior. Vision becomes an issue with many at this stage as well. Some children have severe sleep disturbances. Many like to chew on their hands and clothing. Language and understanding will gradually become lost. Many lose their swallowing ability and begin eating pureed foods and or move to receive a feeding tube. There are many documented cases of suspected intracranial pressure as well in Sanfilippo children. This is usually managed by the addition of a drug generically called Diamox ( a diuretic for removing fluid from the brain) or inserting a shunt if the child is young enough to undergo surgery.

In the third stage, the child begins to slow down. They have difficulty walking, falling often eventually losing the ability to walk altogether. Movement disorders (dystonia, myoclonus, etc. ) and contractures of hands, fingers, and other limbs can also occur.

Most children do experience seizures at some point, joint stiffness, upper respiratory infections, hearing loss, dementia, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior, incontinence, bowel issues of both loose and or compacted stools, severe intellectual impairment, partial paralysis, growth retardation, and vision impairment.

The current life expectancy is 10-20 years.

This is a horrible disease to live with! And it is so important that we spread awareness on this cause! November 16th is that day! The Cure Sanfilippo Foundation is doing so by creating shirts that show you care and support the worldwide foundation of Sanfilippo.

World Sanfilippo Awareness Day is about spreading awareness and sparking conversations globally about Sanfilippo Syndrome, a disease few have heard of. This special day of Awareness is in honor of the children around the world living with Sanfilippo Syndrome today, and those who have passed away. It also honors the families of these precious children.

The logo, showing the parent and child holding hands, pays tribute to the special love and bond of parent and child. Any parent can relate to the precious years you are able to hold your little one's hand, and it has special meaning for a parent of a child with Sanfilippo Syndrome.

Let, 's go spread awareness! Most importantly, I support the foundations that are trying to make a difference in the lives of people living with Sanfilippo or people who care for the person of Sanfillpo; my heart goes out to all those living with Sanfillipo and those who are caregivers.

Happy National Sanfilippo Awareness Day 💜💜💜!

How to Fade Acne Scars

How to Fade Red Acne Marks: To reduce red acne marks, use products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, vasoconstrictors, and ingredients that promote blood circulation. These can help speed up the fading process of red marks.

Key soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients include bisabolol, niacinamide, onion extract, centella asiatica extract, purslane extract, salicin (from willow bark extract), and olive leaf extract.

Note: Prioritize treating active acne! Many acne treatments or skincare products contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, which can also help reduce acne marks. Ingredients that help constrict capillaries include rutoside compounds (glucosylrutin, troxerutin), horse chestnut extract, mucopolysaccharides (MPS), and onion extract.

How to Fade Dark Acne Marks: To reduce dark acne marks, use products with anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit melanin production and accelerate skin metabolism, which can help speed up the fading process.

Fading Melanin: Dark acne marks are caused by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), where melanin deposits due to inflammation. The more severe the inflammation, the harder it is to fade dark marks.

Whitening Ingredients: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, arbutin, licorice extract, and tea extract are effective.

Exfoliating and Speeding Up Melanin Metabolism: Retinoic acid and its derivatives, as well as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), can help.

Sun Protection: Not using sunscreen can cause red acne marks to turn into dark ones, making them harder to remove. You can choose between physical and chemical sunscreens.

How to Fade Acne Pits: Acne pits and scars affect the dermis layer of the skin, resulting from significant damage to the skin's basement membrane, making them irreversible. For such cases, it's recommended to consult a professional dermatologist for treatments that may include collagen or hyaluronic acid injections.

Prevention is Key: Preventing the formation of acne pits is closely related to managing inflammation early. It’s important to treat red and dark acne marks promptly and avoid squeezing pimples.

Acne Mark Q&A:

Will acne marks naturally fade in 3-6 months? This depends on the size, depth, and severity of the acne, as well as your skin tone. If you address inflammation early, red marks are generally easier to fade.

Does the size of acne affect how long marks last? Yes, larger and deeper pimples tend to leave more stubborn marks. The larger the acne, the wider the area of skin it damages. The deeper the acne, the more it stimulates melanin production in the deeper layers of the skin, which takes longer to metabolize and fade.

Aloe Vera Peel Off Mask: The Ultimate Guide for Glowing Skin

Aloe vera has been celebrated for centuries due to its myriad health and beauty benefits. One of its most popular uses in contemporary skincare is the aloe vera peel-off mask. This natural treatment offers a plethora of benefits, making it a must-have in your beauty regimen. In this article, we will delve deep into the benefits, preparation methods, application techniques, and tips for using an aloe vera peel-off mask to achieve radiant skin.

Benefits of Aloe Vera Peel Off Mask

1. Deep Cleansing

Aloe vera peel-off masks are renowned for their ability to provide deep cleansing. The mask adheres to the skin, binding with dirt, dead skin cells, and other impurities. When peeled off, it removes these impurities, leaving the skin fresh and clean.

2. Hydration and Moisturization

Aloe vera is known for its exceptional hydrating properties. The gel contains compounds like mucopolysaccharides that help bind moisture to the skin. Using an aloe vera peel-off mask can ensure that your skin remains well-hydrated and moisturized, preventing dryness and flakiness.

3. Soothing and Healing

Aloe vera has potent anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It can soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and accelerate the healing of minor cuts and sunburns. The peel-off mask helps in delivering these benefits directly to the skin, providing immediate relief.

4. Anti-Aging Benefits

Regular use of an aloe vera peel-off mask can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The antioxidants in aloe vera combat free radicals, preventing premature aging and promoting youthful, supple skin.

5. Brightening and Even Skin Tone

Aloe vera contains aloin, a compound known for its depigmenting properties. It can help lighten dark spots, reduce pigmentation, and promote an even skin tone. The peel-off mask aids in delivering these benefits effectively, resulting in brighter, more radiant skin.

How to Prepare an Aloe Vera Peel Off Mask

Ingredients Needed

Fresh aloe vera gel (from an aloe vera leaf or store-bought pure aloe vera gel)

Unflavored gelatin or agar-agar powder

A few drops of essential oil (optional for fragrance)

A small bowl and a brush for application

Step-by-Step Preparation

Extract the Aloe Vera Gel: If using a fresh aloe vera leaf, cut it open and scoop out the gel. Ensure you have about 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel.

Mix with Gelatin: In a small bowl, mix the aloe vera gel with 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin or agar-agar powder. Stir well to combine.

Heat the Mixture: Heat the mixture in a microwave or over a double boiler until the gelatin dissolves completely. Be careful not to overheat.

Add Essential Oil: If you prefer, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture for added benefits and fragrance.

Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the mixture to cool slightly but not solidify. It should be warm and spreadable.

Application Techniques

1. Prepare Your Skin

Before applying the mask, ensure your face is clean and free of makeup. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt and oil. Pat your face dry with a soft towel.

2. Apply the Mask

Using a brush, apply the warm aloe vera mixture evenly to your face, avoiding the delicate areas around your eyes and mouth. Apply a slightly thicker layer on areas with blackheads or impurities for better results.

3. Let it Dry

Allow the mask to dry completely. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. As the mask dries, it will tighten on your skin.

4. Peel Off Gently

Once the mask is fully dry, start peeling it off gently from the edges. Be cautious not to pull too hard, especially if you have sensitive skin.

5. Rinse and Moisturize

After peeling off the mask, rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove any residue. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration.

Tips for Using Aloe Vera Peel Off Mask

1. Patch Test

If you are using aloe vera for the first time, it's essential to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the mask on your wrist or behind your ear and wait for 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions.

2. Frequency of Use

For best results, use the aloe vera peel-off mask 1-2 times a week. Overuse can lead to dryness or irritation.

3. Customize Your Mask

You can customize your aloe vera peel-off mask by adding other beneficial ingredients like honey, turmeric, or green tea extract. These can enhance the mask's benefits and address specific skin concerns.

4. Store Properly

If you have leftover mask mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use it within a week to ensure its efficacy.

5. Stay Consistent

Consistency is key to seeing significant results. Make the aloe vera peel-off mask a regular part of your skincare routine to enjoy its full benefits.

Conclusion

An aloe vera peel-off mask is a powerful addition to any skincare routine, offering deep cleansing, hydration, soothing, anti-aging, and brightening benefits. With its natural ingredients and easy preparation, it is an accessible and effective treatment for achieving glowing, healthy skin.

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis:  

● The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the aloe vera gel market in both positive and negative ways. On one hand, the increased emphasis on personal hygiene and skincare during the pandemic led to a surge in demand for aloe vera gel. Consumers sought products known for their moisturizing and soothing properties, and aloe vera, with its natural and healing attributes, became a popular choice. The spike in demand was particularly notable in hand sanitizers and skincare products containing aloe vera. However, on the flip side, disruptions in the supply chain, restrictions on manufacturing facilities, and logistical challenges posed hurdles for aloe vera gel producers. The pandemic-induced lockdowns and economic uncertainties also influenced consumer spending patterns, impacting the overall market dynamics.

● The Russia-Ukraine war has had a notable impact on various global markets, including the aloe vera gel market. Aloe vera is a versatile plant known for its medicinal and cosmetic properties, and its gel is widely used in skincare and healthcare products. The conflict has disrupted supply chains, as both Russia and Ukraine play crucial roles in the production and export of raw materials essential for the aloe vera gel industry. Instabilities in these regions have led to uncertainties in the availability of key components, affecting the manufacturing and distribution processes. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates, trade restrictions, and increased transportation costs have further contributed to challenges for market players. As a result, the aloe vera gel market has experienced disruptions in the production pipeline, leading to potential shortages and price volatility. Businesses in this sector are compelled to adapt to the evolving geopolitical landscape, seeking alternative sources and strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of the ongoing conflict on market growth.

Key Takeaways:

● Dominance of Asia-Pacific

The aloe vera gel market based on geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific held a dominant market share of 31% as compared to the other regions in 2023. China and India are the dominant marketable places for aloe vera, and both regions provide excellent profit metrics for wholesalers and retailers. As per an individual farmer review, a profit of around INR 4,72,000 can be generated from 2,000-acre farming of aloe vera owing to high product demand. However, North America is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to marketers in the projected period of 2024-2030. This is owing to the enormous demand being seen in the green beauty segment. Further, in a data report, consumers surveyed reported that they’d be keener to purchase beauty or food items that are sourced sustainably, from local farmers, and are organic.

● The cosmetic and Personal Care Industry segment held the largest market share 

The aloe vera gel market based on the end-use industry can be further segmented into the Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry, Food and Beverages Industry, and Pharmaceutical Industry. The cosmetic and Personal Care Industry held a dominant market share in the year 2023. This is owing to the widespread usage of aloe vera gel in fulfilling various needs, especially pertaining to the skin. Aloe vera gel has been an excellent skin healer and protects against skin burns. Aloe vera acts as a protective layer of the skin and helps replenish its moisture. Regions such as Australia receive an additional 7% solar UV intensity, while also receiving 15% more UV than Europeans. However, Pharmaceutical Industry is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period of 2024-2030. It is owing to the overall nutritional qualities which allow a multi-dimensional use. Further, type II diabetes can be bought under control using such products in continuation. As per WHO, around 490 million people globally suffer from diabetes.

● Offline Segment to Hold Largest Market Share

The aloe vera gel market based on distribution channels can be further segmented into Offline and Online. The offline segment held a dominant market share in the year 2023. It is owing to the preferential selling techniques to advertise new products that are favored through hypermarkets and supermarkets. Further, such products have a higher shelf life which allows for better chances of being used by the consumer. Offline retailers try to mend new strategies, by giving bulk discounts up to 10-12% to induce sales on the newer products.

However, the Online segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period of 2024-2030. It is owing to heavy discounts and newer digital sales strategies which propel confidence and instill discounts at various checkpoints. Moreover, celebrity endorsements and codes allow for better positioning. Lastly, consumers in various economies are highly price-sensitive, thereby online selling channels can provide additional ways. For example, Mama Earth aloe vera gel is available at a discount of 15% against the MRP of INR 300.

● The property of aloe vera gel to combat and prevent skin wrinkles, and aging effects has allowed the market to space

Natural or green beauty has been a growing discipline within the cosmetic industry. Green beauty is anything and everything which is sourced using ethical and sustainable practices, without relying on animal cruelty. Aloe Vera gel has been extensively used to prevent wrinkles and acne. Since aloe vera is rich in anti-inflammatory properties it can kill and fight against acne-causing bacteria. Acne has been regarded as a common skin condition within the US, affecting around 50 million of the population. Furthermore, as per AAD, 85% of people within the age bracket of 12-24, experience acne at least once in life. Aloe vera gel is also rich in aging factors. Aloe vera contains numerous antioxidants that include beta-carotene, vitamins C, and E that can help improve the skin's natural firmness and further keep it hydrated. The geriatric population is booming in various parts of the world, as by 2030 around 25% of the US population will be above the age bracket of 65, of which a dominant position is held by women. Owing to such factors, the market would be driven at a good pace.

● The medicinal use of aloe vera gel in controlling various forms of cardiovascular diseases allows the market to reach exponential potential

As per a report by Herbal Medicines, aloe vera gel contains around 200 active substances primarily including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and polysaccharides. All the said components work together to provide the desired result. Aloe vera gel is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can help in treating various forms of health complaints, including constipation-colic, and high blood pressure issues. Within the U.S., around 50% of the entire adult population suffers from hypertension, of which only one-third take medicines to control. As per a report from the National Center for Complementary & Integrative Health, aloe vera gel can also help in compensating for cases of osteoarthritis, bowel diseases, and forms of fever. As for treating type-two diabetes, a review published by the Journal of Alternative And Complementary Medicines, aloe vera gel can help in lowering fasting blood sugar by 46.6 milligrams per decilitre, while also controlling A1C blood sugar levels by 1.05%. Owing to such medicinal properties, the market has the potential to grow exponentially.

● The increasing Sensitive conditions to incur/ grow aloe vera plantation have been a limiting factor 

Aloe-vera commercial farming is gaining market traction owing to high profitability metrics. The average yield of Aloe Vera leaves for one hectare of land is estimated to be 15 to 20 tonnes. However, the industry remains highly unregulated which often creates wide-scale problems, especially during plantations. One of the limiting factors for the growth of aloe vera is pests. Mealybugs are one of the common mites which affect aloe-vera plants, as they can suck all the sap of the plant, by piercing right through the plant tissues. Additionally, since it is a desert plant, a stint of high water can plausibly spoil the entire acreage. Owing to such factors, the market’s growth can be potentially hindered.

A person with short stature, or restricted growth, does not grow as tall as other people of the same gender, age, and ethnicity. The person's height is below the 3rd percentile.

Short stature can be a variant of normal growth, or it may indicate a disorder or condition.

Growth rate is an important indicator of overall health. Children who do not reach the 5th percentile by the age of 5 years are said to be small for gestational age (SGA). A pediatrician will look out for signs of "failure to thrive."

Early intervention can prevent future problems in many cases.

Normally, at 8 years of age, a child's arm span is around the same as their height. If these measurements are out of proportion, this may be a sign of disproportionate short stature (DSS), sometimes known as "dwarfism."

Fast facts on short stature

Here are some key points about short stature. More detail is in the main article.

• Short stature can happen for a wide range of reasons, including having small parents, malnutrition, and genetic conditions such as achondroplasia.

• Proportionate short stature (PSS) is when the person is small, but all the parts are in the usual proportions. In disproportionate short stature (DSS), the limbs may be small compared with the trunk.

• If short stature results from a growth hormone (GH) deficiency, GH treatment can often boost growth.

• Some people may experience long-term medical complications, but intelligence is not usually affected.

Causes

Growth depends on a complex range of factors, including genetic makeup, nutrition, and hormonal influences.

The most common cause of short stature is having parents whose height is below average, but around 5 percent of children with short stature have a medical condition.

Conditions that can underlie short stature include:

• Undernutrition, due to a disease or lack of nutrients

• Hypothyroidism, leading to a lack of growth hormone

• A tumor in the pituitary gland

• Diseases of the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, or gastrointestinal tract

• Conditions that affect the production of collagen and other proteins

• Some chronic diseases, such as celiac disease and other inflammatory disorders

• Mitochondrial disease, which can affect the body in different ways, including growth

Sometimes, an injury to the head during childhood can lead to reduced growth.

A lack of growth hormone can also lead to delayed or absent sexual development.

Rheumatologic diseases, such as arthritis, are linked to short stature. This may happen because of the disease, or as a result of the glucocorticoid treatment, which can affect the release of growth hormone.

Disproportionate short stature (DSS) usually stems from a genetic mutation that affects the development of bone and cartilage and undermines physical growth.

The parents may not have short stature, but they may pass on a condition that is linked to DSS, such as achondroplasia, mucopolysaccharide disease, and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED).

Types

There are different types and causes of short stature, or restricted growth, and they will present differently. Because the range of conditions is so broad, restricted growth can be classified in various ways.

One categorization is:

• Variant restricted growth

• Proportionate short stature (PSS)

• Disproportionate short stature (DSS)

Each of these categories includes a number of types and causes of short stature.

Variant restricted growth

Sometimes a person is small but otherwise healthy. This can be referred to as variant restricted growth. It may happen for genetic or hormonal reasons.

If the parents are also small, this can be called familial short stature (FSS). If it stems from a hormonal issue, it is a constitutional delay in growth and adolescence (CDGA).

The limbs and the head develop in proportion with the spine, and the individual is otherwise healthy.

Growth happens throughout the body, so the legs, for example, are in proportion with the spine.

In most cases, the individual's parents are also small, but sometimes small stature happens because the body does not produce enough growth hormone (GH), or the body does not process growth hormone properly. This is known as GH insensitivity. Hypothyrodism can lead to low hormone production.

Growth hormone treatment during childhood may help.

Proportionate short stature (PSS)

Sometimes, overall growth is restricted, but the person's body is in proportion, and the individual has a related health problem. This is known as proportionate short stature (PSS).

If the individual is heavy for their height, this can suggest a hormone problem. The problem could be hypothyroidism, excess glucorticoid production, or too little GH.

A person who is small and their weight is low for their height may be experiencing malnutrition, or they may have a disorder that leads to malabsorption.

Whatever the underlying reason, if it affects overall growth, it may impact development in at least one body system, so treatment is needed.

During adulthood, a person with this type of restricted growth is more likely to experience:

• osteoporosis

• cardiovascular problems

• reduced muscle strength

Rarely, there may be cognitive problems, or problems with thinking. This depends on the cause of the short stature.

Disproportionate short stature (DSS)

Disproportionate short stature (DSS) is linked to a genetic mutation. The parents are usually of average height. As with other types of short stature, a range underlying causes is possible.

An individual with DSS will be small in height, and they will have other unusual physical features. These may be visible at birth, or they may develop in time as the infant develops.

Most individuals will have an average-sized trunk and short limbs, but some people may have a very short trunk and shortened, but disproportionately large limbs. Head size may be disproportionately large.

Intelligence or cognitive abilities are unlikely to be affected unless the person has hydrocephalus, or too much fluid around the brain.

Achondroplasia underlies around 70 percent of cases of DSS. It affects around 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 40,000 people.

Features include:

• an average-sized trunk

• short limbs, especially the upper arms and legs

• short fingers, possibly with a wide space between the middle and ring fingers

• limited mobility in the elbows

• a large head with a prominent forehead and flattened bridge of the nose

• bowed legs

• lordosis, a progressive development of a swayed lower back

• average adult height of 4 feet, or 122 cm

Hypochondroplasia is a mild form of achondroplasia. It may be difficult to differentiate between familial short stature and achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia result from a genetic mutation.

Genetic conditions, such as Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, or Prader Willi syndrome, are also linked to DSS.

Diagnosis

Some types of short stature can be diagnosed at birth. In other cases, routine visits to a pediatrician should reveal any abnormal growth pattern.

The doctor will record the child's head circumference, height, and weight.

If the doctor suspects restricted growth, they will carry out a physical examination, look at the child's medical and family history, and possibly carry out some tests.

These may include:

An x-ray, to assess for problems with bone development

An insulin tolerance test, to check for a deficiency in the growth hormone insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

In this test, insulin is injected into a vein, causing blood glucose levels to drop. Normally, this would trigger the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). If GH levels are lower than normal, there may be a GH deficiency.

Other tests include:

• a thyroid-stimulating hormone test, to check for hypothyroidism

• a complete blood count, to test for anemia

• metabolic tests, to assess liver and kidney function

• erythrocyte sedimentation and C-reactive protein tests, to assess for inflammatory bowel disease

• urine tests can check for enzyme deficiency disorders

• tissue transglutinase and immunoglobulin A tests, for celiac disease

• imaging scans, such as an x-ray of the skeleton and the skull or an MRI, can detect problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus

• bone marrow or skin biopsies may help confirm conditions associated with short stature

Treatment

Treatment will depend on the cause of the short stature.

If there are signs of malnutrition, the child may need nutritional supplements or treatment for a bowel disorder or other condition that is preventing them from absorbing nutrients.

If growth is restricted or delayed because of a hormonal problem, GH treatment may be necessary.

Pediatric hormone treatment: In children who produce too little GH, a daily injection of hormone treatment may stimulate physical growth later in life. Medications, such as somatropin, may eventually add 4 inches, or 10 centimeters, to adult height.

Adult hormone treatment

: Treatment for adults can help protect against complications, for example, cardiovascular disease and low bone mineral density.

Somatropin, also known as recombinant GH, might be recommended for people who:

• have a severe growth hormone deficiency

• experience impaired quality of life

• are already receiving treatment for another pituitary hormone deficiency

Adult patients generally self-administer daily with an injection.

Adverse effects of somatropin include headache, muscle pain, edema, or fluid retention, problems with eyesight, joint pain, vomiting, and nausea.

The patient may receive treatment to control chronic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease, and arthritis.

Treatment for DSS

As DSS often stems from a genetic disorder, treatment focuses mainly on the complications.

Some patients with very short legs may undergo leg lengthening. The leg bone is broken and then fixed into a special frame. The frame is adjusted daily to lengthen the bone.

This does not always work, it takes a long time, and there is a risk of complications, including:

• pain

• the bone forming badly or at an inappropriate rate

• infection

• deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a vein

Other possible surgical treatments include:

• use of growth plates, where metal staples are inserted into the ends of long bones where growth takes place, to help bones grow in the right direction

• inserting staples or rods to help the spine form the right shape

• increasing the size of the opening in the bones of the spine to reduce pressure on the spinal cord

Regular monitoring can reduce the risk of complications.

Complications

A person with DSS may experience a number of complications.

These include:

• arthritis later in life

• delayed mobility development

• dental problems

• bowed legs

• hearing problems and otitis media

• hydrocephalus, or too much fluid in the brain cavities

• hunching of the back

• limb problems

• swaying of the back

• narrowing of the channel in the lower spine during adulthood and other spine problem

• sleep apnea

• weight gain

• speech and language problems

Individuals with proportionate short stature (PSS) may have poorly developed organs and pregnancy complications, such as respiratory problems. Delivery will normally be by cesarean section.

Outlook

Most people with short stature will have a normal life expectancy, and 90 percent of children who are small for their age at 2 years will "catch up" by adulthood.

The 10 percent who do not catch up are likely to have a condition such as fetal alcohol, Prader-Willi, or Down syndrome.

A person with achondroplasia can also expect a normal lifespan.

However, some serious conditions that are linked to some cases of short stature can be fatal.
