Fruit Of The Earth Aloe Vera 100% Gel 24 oz (2 pack)

I have been using this brand of Aloe for many years as hair gel as well as for sunburns…honestly it’s really great.

Exactly as advertised

I use this Aloe Vera on my skin daily! It is all natural and has no dyes or scents in it. The Aloe absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. It is not oily at all!

Been reordering from same seller this pair of bottles for a couple years when I run out.I use the aloe as my hair gel, skin care, after sun, etc.

I love the aloe itself (I used to buy it from Harmons) but the last 5 bottles I've purchased, 3 of then had broken pumps. These need to be addressed by the manufacturer. They may get damaged in shipping, but still. Maybe put a cap on top and ship the pump not already placed in the bottle? Or make better pumps and then sell bottles as refills to avoid buying so many pumps.

Broken Pumps.

It's clear, no dyes or perfumes, and it protects against sunburn and skin dryness.

I used this as a base in my hand sanitizer by adding alcohol, I like the way it turned out. Its turned cloudy but thats what happen when mixing certain ingredients with alcohol. Its difficult to blend the ingredients by hand so for best results use a mixer or blender that will not be used for food afterwards. Just for those chemists or nerds the ingredients in this is Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice (Aloe from the leaf of the plant) which is perfectly safe, Triethanolamine or TEA - this chemical has varying reports of its toxicity yet the FDA still approves it, this is used in cosmetics like liquid foundations etc mainly to dissolve components that wouldnt normaly dissolve. Tocopheryl Acetate is a synthetic form of Vitamin E which is perfectly safe and probably in most of your pill versed vitamins. Carbomer is a thickener used in cosmetics and can be deemed food grade is perfectly safe for every day use. Tetrasodium EDTA is way to complicated to break down so simply put is formaldehyde, again alot of varying degrees of reports can be found on this but the level that is used in this is deemed safe by the FDA. This is used to preserve the ingredients,if you didnt use this in cosmetics they would probably expire within days. DMDM Hydantoin this isa also a preservative but this is more commonly used and you find this in mostly all shampoos and conditioners and is safe for everyday use. Diazolidinyl Urea is the last preservative used in this product, now this isnt as commonly used as the previos one but it is used in combination with the 2 previous ingredients to form 1 single preservative. If you are attempting to go organic this is not the product for you. If you are attempting to use this as a hand sanitizer be aware that there is no ingredients in this that will sanitize or even clean your hands this is nothing more than Aloe, Vitamin E and preservatives. I am a chemist so i do have access to a lab which is where I measured my alcohol for my hand sanitizer. If you are making your own hand sanitizer be aware that you must use Denatured Alcohol or isopropyl Alcohol along with Hydrogen Peroxide and Glycerine but in place of Glycerine I used this product and the final product must contain at least 60% Alcohol. Know this, the most effective way that you can kill viruses including COVID-19 on the surface of your hands is to wash them with soap and water for at least 30 seonds (wet your hands and wrists and lather them with soap, rub or lightly scrub all surfaces for at least 20 seconds then rinse and repeat for an additional 10seconds) Hand sanitizers are more effective when you are in a clean enviroment to begin with which is why the WHO and CDC does not encourage its use, however if you are unable to get to soap and water remove all debris from your hands and completely saturate your hands with an alcohol based hand sanitizer rubbing all surfaces until dry. Oh btw you can buy an Alcohol meter to measure your final product to be sure you've used the correct amounts of Alcohol.
