Abstract:

The goal of this project is to test the veracity of alleged aloe vera leaves sold in stores. Using the acquired data, we will then test three different products. Aloe is typically used in drinks and for topical use, aloe is known for its healing and medical properties. In conducting this experiment we will see if products that claim to have aloe are actually purely aloe
