Aromatics International's Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis) is made in the USA by grinding the inner leaf and cold pressing. It is a naturally ground gel and might have small pieces of pulp. We use the aloe gel to make hand sanitizers (you mix about10 drops of skin nourishing essential oils into 2 oz of aloe gel). We also use it on burns, sunburns and as a carrier for fungal blends. It has a soft, silky texture and not at all sticky once rubbed in.

Ingredients: Aloe vera, natural preservatives of Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid and Xanthan Gum.

2 oz aloe gel

7 drops lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
