Is aloe vera and aloe vesta the same or different? thanks

Not the same but...: Aloe Vera is a medicinal plant that has many proven benefits, both topically and when taken internally. Aloe Vesta is a line of commercial skin care products that contain many different ingredients, one of which is aloe vera. I can't comment on the effectiveness of Aloe Vesta products but Aloe vera is a wonderful herb. See http://tinyurl.com/35ubwlw for more on aloe vera benefits.
