Aloe vera oil is an oil soluble product and may cloud the suspension soap base. It is also a heavier additive and will provide a heavier moisturizing benefit than the gel.

Staff Answer Most likely not, but it will depend on your recipe and what you are making. Liquid Aloe may refer to either Aloe Vera Oil or Aloe Leaf Juice. The Aloe Leaf Juice is only one component of the Aloe Vera Gel. Liquid Aloe would likely refer to a base ingredient, but Aloe Vera Gel is a completed product.

Staff Answer In small amounts aloe vera gel can be used in a lip gloss. We have not tested this product in this capacity so this would require testing on your part to ensure the safety of your finished product.

"I've purchased the Aloe Vera Gel and it is wonderful! I'm wondering if I can mix it with the clays or should I keep it seperate? IF mixed together, will the interference of bacteria occur? "

Staff Answer The Aloe Vera Gel contains a preservative, so this should not be an issue. We always recommend creating a test batch first to ensure you achieve the outcome you are looking for.

You'll have a bigger problem with it becoming gummy than worrying about bacteria. If you are worried about bacteria, you can add a preservative.

In my opinion, the consistency we love about this product would be completely lost if clays were added. (also the beautiful clarity that holds shimmer so nicely.)

"Can fragrance oils be added to the Aloe Vera Gel if I use Polysorbate 20 to help the oil bind with it? Would it thin it down too much to use just otherwise more or less straight(ish)? I want to make a glitter gel. "

Hello, You can add fragrance oil at 1-2% for this base. Adding fragrance oil can cause your aloe vera gel to become cloudy. The polysorbate 20 could be used a few drops at a time to help with the cloudyness. Thank you

"I've enjoyed using your aloe vera. However, when I researched the ingredients used to stabilize your aloe vera like Triethanolamine and Diazolidinyl Urea (formaldehyde), I'm questioning its toxicity level especially for those prone to cancer. Could you reformulate it? Thank you for your time."

Staff Answer This is not formaldehyde but instead a releasing agent. The only alternative preservative that would work in this base is a paraben. If we get enough requests, we would be happy to look at having it reformulated. We are not aware of an alternative ingredient for the TEA. Both the preservative and TEA and approved by the FDA for use in cosmetics.
