Which Type Of Aloe Vera Is Poisonous?
The type of aloe vera that is poisonous is known as Aloe vera var. chinensis, also known as Chinese aloe. It contains high amounts of aloin, a compound that is toxic when consumed in large quantities. However, it is important to note that this type of aloe vera is not typically used in cosmetic or medicinal products and is rarely found in households. Most aloe vera products are made from the safer Aloe vera var. barbadensis species.
