Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Hi Hope, I'm not to sure what you want to make, but I've made some great soap with cuttings from my aloe vera plant. I cleaned the stalks and put the whole thing (you can just use the pulp too) in the blender with a little water, until it was a gel like consistency.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Debbie, Unless your aloe vera gel states that it becomes gelatinous once reconstituted, it will never become thick. Even the aloe producers and bottlers use carrageenan or some other such thickener to add body and substance to their aloe gels (in the bottle). We recommend using xanthan gum at 2% (to start) to thicken your reconstituted aloe powders. Add directly to the water after you have added the aloe pwder. Use a stick blender or whisk to incorporate.

Check our 53 Tips for Yourself, Your Family, Your Home http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/tipsntechs.html Debbie asked: I purchase an aloe vera gel that is in concentrate form, 39:1. It never gets thick....is it suppose to? Anytime I try to use this with my lotions, it never works, but maybe that's not the reason. Any input?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Can aloe vera gel be added to soap. If so when, and what are its benefits. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 I don't know about aloe vera "gel" but there is an aloe vera oil and I also have aloe vera butter. I just recently got it so I haven't used it yet. But supposedly you can use the aloe vera butter in place of shea butter if you want. M Re: Aloe Vera Gel Can aloe vera gel be added to soap.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 lets see there is pure aloe vera gel... that is pure extracted aloe with a gelling agent added, nothing else there is a lot of marketed aloe vera gels that have other additives in the base... you can look at ingrediant lists and see for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 All I know is that there is aloe vera juice, which I use for soaps and lotions and aloe vera gel which is thick and very refreshing. I use the gel for layered parfaits and for hand sanitizers. I think the brand is Fruit of the Earth and I always buy the clear.
