Skin-soothing succulent (4)

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Fleshy-leaved plant" , "Succulent plant (4) 5532" , "Genus of bitter herbs" , "Flower, maybe vera" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and The New York Times.
