Ever Get a Sunburn, Blemish, or Bug Bite?
We sure have.

As much as superfoods are part of our daily lives here at Sunfood, we continue to be amazed at how they help us personally. There is one product that everyone around here has been raving about lately, soothing sunburns and bug bites, as well as making blemishes disappear faster!

Meet our Director of Wholesale Sales, Dennis Sherreitt, aka “Mr. Waterman,” who’s really into water sports. He got too much sun on his last adventure and one product gave him amazing relief…
“I spent last Labor Day weekend waterskiing and wakeboarding on the Colorado River north of Yuma, Arizona, where temps were in the 106+ mark. Needless to say, Mr. Waterman himself got scorched by the hot desert sun. I put the MSM Aloe Gel on my face, neck, ears, bald head, arms, and legs. I was blown away with the sensation my body felt. Instantly, it was soothing, cooling, refreshing, and relaxing—what else can I say? I spend most of my free time outdoors and nothing has ever given me the soothing relief that Sunfood MSM Aloe Gel did. I am hooked!”

Our Supply Chain Coordinator, Lisa Lewis, has a story to share about how our MSM Aloe Gel helped with blemishes!
“My husband had a couple of blemishes on the side of his nose causing redness and discomfort. This was a concern because his job requires him to work out in the hot sun. We decided to apply Sunfood MSM Aloe Gel and the very next day, the redness was really toned down. Within three days, all was back to normal. We will never be without MSM Aloe Gel!!”

Here’s what Hannah DeuPree, our Quality Assurance Manager, had to say about MSM Aloe Gel and bug bite relief…
“MSM Aloe Gel is my saving grace. With two cats, a dog, a very active toddler & a passion for outdoor yoga—bug bites are inevitable for me. Instead of getting small bumps, my skin gets irritated and swollen. I have tried everything from baking soda to over the counter antihistamine, but nothing helps 100%.

Then came the day I found MSM Aloe Gel. The aloe soothes and almost completely minimizes itching while the MSM works to reduce inflammation and redness. The peppermint extract gives the gel an amazing and refreshing smell and cools the infected areas. It doesn’t make me drowsy like antihistamines, and has never given me any adverse reactions. It is even safe for my daughter to use! I highly suggest MSM Aloe Gel to anyone with pets or a passion for the outdoors!”

Studies have shown that aloe can:

Assist with the "healing of burn wounds."₁ One study showed that burn patients dressed with aloe vera "showed advantage compared to those dressed with SSD [silversulphadiazine] regarding early wound epithelialization [healing after injury], earlier pain relief and cost-effectiveness."₁

Help wounds heal faster because in clinical trials, it "increased collagen content"₂ and was found to have "an antimicrobial effect."₃

MSM + Aloe = Soothing Pain Relief

The healing properties of aloe are doubled by MSM in our MSM Aloe Gel. This is because MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane) is a sulfur compound that has "anti-inflammatory effects."₄

This cooling gel also contains herbal extracts of green tea, turmeric (which also has "anti-inflammatory properties")₅, arnica (another plant with "anti-inflammatory activity")₆, ginger and peppermint.

Completely natural, MSM Aloe Gel is safe for your children and pets, too!
