Aloe vera is a succulent plant species whose gel-filled leaves are widely used for soothing skin and sunburns. The term refers to both the plant and its soothing gel, commonly found in cosmetics and herbal remedies. In everyday use, the phrase is typically pronounced with two stressed syllables and a soft, airy second word. The plant’s name carries a mild, almost clinical tone in technical contexts and a relaxed, natural tone in consumer discussions.
