Founded by Cornelis Eman, Royal Aruba Aloe is one of the oldest aloe companies in the world. Once the largest aloe producer globally, the factory showcases the plant's significance in Aruba's history. Visitors can explore the aloe fields and witness the entire production process, from the careful harvesting of leaves to the creation of various skincare, hair care, and sun care products. The museum features an 11-minute audiovisual presentation on the brand's history, displays of vintage products, and insights into aloe-based skincare.
