Can I apply dragon claw chrysanthemum directly on my face?

We know that Aloe Vera is one of the varieties of the aloe plant, also known as arborescent aloe. It has similar skin care effects to aloe, but is completely different. Dragon Claw Chrysanthemum actually has certain medicinal effects in traditional Chinese medicine, and its leaves also secrete thick liquid, but can Dragon Claw Chrysanthemum be applied directly on the face? This is a misunderstanding. Dragon Claw Chrysanthemum cannot be applied directly on the face, especially for people with skin allergies who should choose it with caution.

Arborescent aloe is a perennial plant with short or obvious stems and fleshy leaves that grow in rosette clusters or sometimes in two rows, with sharp tips and often hard teeth or thorns on the edges.

Also known as wood sword aloe, it is native to South Africa. The leaf juice is extremely bitter and it belongs to the lily family. Commercial production is carried out in Japan, and the Japanese believe that Aloe arborescens is the best medicinal aloe variety. Aloe arborescens is processed into aloe vera dry powder. It can cure various diseases. In medicine, Aloe arborescens has been found to contain many active ingredients and is recognized as the most effective variety. In terms of medicinal use, the leaves can be eaten raw or squeezed into juice, and can also be processed into health foods or cosmetics. Since it is easy to handle, it is also suitable for eating as a home dish.

Its medicinal value is relatively high and ranks first compared with other groups in the aloe family. The dragon claw chrysanthemum is a perennial evergreen plant that likes warmth, is drought-tolerant and afraid of frost. It blooms and has leaves shaped like dragon claws. There is fleshy tissue inside the leaves, and the juice of the tissue is viscous and bitter. The fleshy tissue inside the leaves can be used for food, medicine, and skin care products. Because the leaves of the dragon claw chrysanthemum are not that large and the yield is low, few people develop and utilize it.
