Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi, Sherry! Thanks so much! Someone else had suggested carageenan (irish moss). Do you have any experience with it? I'm wondering which provides the smoothest gel. Thanks so much! That answer was a huge help! pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hi Pamela, I have actually used irish moss and it makes a beautifull soothing gell. Unfortunately, there is the underlying " fishy " smell to contend with! LOL! I used lavender eo and perhaps peppermint would have been a better choice. This was for a sunburn gel and it included water, irish moss, aloe vera gel and black tea, so I'm not too sure of the amount you would need for just aloe vera gel. . Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi, Leanna! Thanks so much! I think I'm going to try the irish moss. I like the fact that it's a botanical. Thanks much for sharing your experience! I'll hafta' play around with the EOs to find one to cover the " fishy " smell. pamela Re: Re: How to Make Aloe GEL?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 If you use carageenan, which is the cleaned up version of irish moss, it has no fishy smell. It's white powder.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi Janine, how do they " clean up " the irish moss to get carageenan? I'll have to get some of this! Leanna in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Hi Leanna, I don't know how they do it, but it can be purchased that way. I usually go thru middle men distributors on some stuff like that. Someone could do a fast buy/co-op on it. I can find out how much it is and get that part of it done if someone else can do it. I'm way too busy to do it, att. It's fun to mess around with.
