Pure organic aloe vera gel is known for its ability to heal and moisturize the skin and hair. It is obtained from organic inner fillets of fresh aloe vera leaves and then processed to remove the pulp and fiber. The resulting gel is then decolorized, pasteurized, and preserved to give it a stable shelf life. Pure aloe vera gel is actually not gel-like, but is more thin in texture. The gels that are commonly found on the market are “gelled” using a gelling agent. If you are looking for a thick, gel-like aloe, please try our Aloe Moist.
Aloe vera is quite fragile and will readily grow bacteria when contaminated. When using organic aloe vera gel in a formulation, you will need to properly preserve your formulation using an anti-microbial agent such as our grapefruit seed extract, Germaben or a combination of parabens. Although the shelf life of organic aloe vera gel is one year, it is best not to store aloe vera gel longer than six months. Fresh gel is best. Refrigerate organic aloe vera gel to prolong the shelf life.
Use Organic Aloe Vera Gel 1:1 in your creams, lotions, body sprays, and other formulations. Organic Aloe Vera Gel can also be used as a wetting agent for face masks and body wraps. Blend your dry ingredients with part water or hydrosol and part aloe vera gel.
Note: Including 10% aloe vera gel in your formulations is generally sufficient to exhibit the effects of aloe vera in your product. Your products, however, must contain at least 15% aloe vera gel to meet the International Aloe Science Council certification requirements.

Location: Henderson, NV I have oily skin. Plus, I live in the desert. Your Aloe Vera Gel works perfectly as a toner for my skin. I've tried other versions of aloe vera gel in the past, but none have worked as well as the aloe vera gel I buy from FNWL. Thank you again FNWL for the great quality!

Location: Lewistown, MT This is very soothing in a hand lotion and in a baby product that I make. I have a new recipe for a hand sanitizer that also calls for it.
