Skateboarding, bicycling, running, jumping and just about anything in a active lifestyle can result in the occasional scrape.
Most scrapes are shallow scrapes or scratches that do not extend into the lower layers of the skin and cause little or no bleeding. Although a minor injury, there can be a surprising amount of pain due to exposed nerve endings.
How Aloe Vera, Collagen, Vitamin A, Grape Seed Oil Can Help with Scrapes
A scientific review for the Department of Defense discussed the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities of Aloe Vera against a wide variety of ailments: from burns and frostbite to injuries and arthritis.
InfiniteAloe® Skin Care has as its primary ingredient, organic Aloe Vera (organic Aloe Barbadensis Miller), the Aloe Vera gel found to have the greatest benefit above more than 200 kinds of aloe. It nourishes your skin with saponins, which are particularly helpful in pain relief. There are many reports that saponins elevate the body's production of cortisone, which can reduce the soreness and swelling of abrasions.
InfiniteAloe® Skin Care also contains collagen, the main structural protein making up 70% of the body's connective tissue. Some European studies have shown collagen helps speed recovery from injuries and provide structure to recovering skin.
Vitamin A may also be important for rapid healing from scrapes and cuts, as it is vital to the repair and growth of epithelial cells of the skin. The Grape Seed Oil brings powerful cellular rebuilding properties deep below the skin's surface to moisturize and aid in protecting skin tissue.
These are just some of the many beneficial natural ingredients in InfiniteAloe® Skin Care.

How to Use InfiniteAloe® Skin Care When You Have Minor Scrapes
- Abrasions, scrapes and scratches should be cleaned right away and kept clean to avoid infection. The area is usually cleaned by irrigation with water or a nontoxic surfactant to remove any dirt and debris.
- Apply antibiotic ointment.
- If necessary, apply a semi-permeable dressing, allowing the skin to breathe.
- As the wound is healing, apply InfiniteAloe® Skin Care. Do not apply to open wounds or cuts.
- Keep the area moist until it has healed. This promotes healing, improves tissue formation and helps protect the scratches from becoming infected.
Note: The above does not apply to deep cuts or lacerations. Also, be aware of when your last tetanus shot was and get a booster shot if needed. It is not only rusty nails that can cause tetanus.
