PEAK's Mesa update has added plenty of new items to the game, and Aloe Vera is one of the most important items to find to survive the new biome.
One of the harshest aspects of the new biome is the element of heat, especially during the day. If you're not careful enough, the heat can make you faint and jeopardize your chances of going past this level and continuing your ascent to the top.
That's where Aloe Vera can be of great use when you are trying to keep your body temperature down to save yourself in the Mesa biome.

How does Aloe Vera work in PEAK?
There are certain items like the Sunscreen that works as a preventive measure. It stops your body temperature from going up when you're exploring the Mesa biome. But the temperatures will rise, and you might not have enough Sunscreen to begin with. Aloe Vera allows you to to bring down your body temperature if it has risen to dangerous levels.

The item is also directly related to completing the Cool Cucumber badge. This badge requires you to pass Mesa while maintaining your Heat below 10 percent. If your Heat is at the border, you can quickly consume Aloe Vera to reduce the temperature before taking shelter.
How to find Aloe Vera in PEAK?
Unlike most of the new items added to PEAK, Aloe Vera is found in the open. I've never seen it in the luggage lying around on the island. You'll typically find them near cactuses in the Mesa biome. It might not always spawn beside a cactus, but it's pretty common in my experience.
That's pretty much all you need to know about Aloe Vera in PEAK. Make sure to collect as much as possible as they're relatively light and can be extremely useful in hazardous situations.
