Aloe Vera Gel Vegetable
Aloe Vera Gel, sold by weight in a pail, 43 lbs. ($7.40/lb.) This is a clear to slightly hazy viscous gel which should be stored at room temperature protected from oxidation; this product may darken in color over time but will still be fine to use. This is a “gel” product, not a liquid, and is very cool to the touch. This product is an exclusive blend of Aloe Vera Gel and Glyceryl Polymethacrylate in combination with a small amount of Propylene Glycol to stabilize the gel. Some uses: Sun care and after sun products, hand & body lotions/gels, skin cleansers, hair detanglers/moisturizers, liposome gel base, styling/sculpting gels, facial moisturizers, shaving & depilatory preparations, rubs & liniments, ointments, first aid gels, anti-acne preparations, topical analgesics, as a moisturizing base. Percentage to use: Depending on the application, you will most likely want to use 10% or greater, some preparations may require 80-95% Aloe Gel. Use it as a base into which other ingredients may be blended. Aloe Gel may also be used “as is” for a supermoisturizing gel for skin or hair care.
CAUTION: This product should be handled with clean disposable gloves and with clean and disinfected equipment. The slightest bit of contamination will make this product develop mold. We no longer sell this product in smaller sizes to avoid our having to open the factory-sealed pail and handling the product at our facility. The pail will be shipped, unopened, in the same fashion in which it was sanitarily packed by the manufacturer.
