Aboard pedalo, Eve rationed sunburn remedy (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
aloe vera
'remedy' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aloe vera that I've seen before include "cosmetic juice" , "Plant juice used in cosmetics" , "Cosmetic plant extract" , "Mediterranean plant whose thick leaves give off a soothing juice" , "Succulent" .)
