Aloe vera may cause a stinging sensation on the skin due to its natural enzymes and salicylic acid content. These compounds can irritate already sensitive or damaged skin, causing a stinging or burning sensation. It's best to perform a patch test before applying aloe vera to a larger area to check for any adverse reactions.
What else can I help you with?
In reference to Aloe Vera I always thought the plant name was simply Aloe and that Aloe Vera was a product made from the Aloe plant. Is this not true?
No. Aloe is a genus of plants with about 150 different species, of which Aloe vera, also known as Aloe barbadensis is one. The emolient substance derived from the plant is commonly referred to simply as aloe, but the commercial products made from this substance are usually call "aloe vera".In any case Aloe vera and Aloe barbadensis are the two taxonomical names for this plant, but Aloe Vera is the only one used as a common name.

Family of aloe vera?
Molecular studies, especially those based on DNA, have eliminated much of the uncertainty and guesswork that once characterized systematic botany. The classification of the genus Aloe and its relatives (Asphodelus, Kniphofia, Bulbine, etc.) is a good example. Older classification systems put Aloe in the family Liliaceae, but comparisons of DNA sequences have shown that this is clearly wrong. The molecular phylogenetic studies put Aloe in the very large order Asparagales. Within Asparagales, it is either in the family Asphodelaceae or the family Xanthorrhoeaceae. The choice between these two families is not a question of what is related to what, but a question of what groups to put at the rank of family. What some call Asphodelaceae is treated by others as the subfamily Asphodeloideae of the family Xanthorrhoeaceae. I must admit a personal preference for rankless systems like phylocode. As long as one knows what group is a subset of what other group, i dont think that it matters much whether a group is called a family, a subfamily, or whatever. Wikipedia has a good article on Xanthorrhoeaceae that goes into more detail.
