Aloe Vera Gel

[Guest guest]

Hi! I've been reading all your input on aloe vera gel and peeling from sun

burns. Well, my grandma has been peeling really badly, and I'm wondering if

you have any creams or soap or lotion, etc. recipes that are really good for

sunburn peeling. Thanks ahead!

I'll have to look and see what recipes I have around, not to mention notes

on ingredients.

One of these days I'm going to get all this organized and easier to find.

I haven't been able to find any recipes so far using aloe vera gel.

However, I have used with success aloe vera juice. I substitute it for a

portion of the water called for in the recipe (i.e. if recipe calls for 2

cups water, I use 1 cup each water and aloe vera juice). I would think you

could use the gel in the same way, although it will probably take some

experimenting to get proper amounts. The amount of emulsifier(s) used in

the recipe may also have to be adjusted. I honestly don't know how the

thickness of the gel will affect the final thickness of the lotion or cream.

I'm sending in a separate message something I received recently on another

list I'm on. It's a compilation of sunburn remedies.

Once peeling starts, the dead, damaged skin is sloughed off...there is no

way to stop it. You can minimize the flaky appearance by keeping the skin

well-moisturized. Your grandmother should use a good sunblock for the next

few months to prevent further damage and the skin can repair itself.

It is 1/4th of a cup of aloe juice is what I meant to post.

Some time ago something I read somewhere convinced me to buy a bottle of aloe

vera gel. I just unpacked it from our move, and have since forgotten why I

bought this stuff. Is it a probiotic, perhaps? If anyone has had good results

from adding aloe vera gel to their kids' supplement regimen, please let me know.

thanks.

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me hoy to make aloe verda gel?

i´ve got a nice aloe plant in my garden, so i would love to make my

own.

Hi Rocio;

I don't know the process that is used to make commercial aloe vera gel. But

for the home type, just take a large leaf and split it down the center and

scrape out the gel that the leaf is composed of.
