    hey everyone! just found some aloe gel at my local health food store, and it claims to be 99.9% aloe, just wanted to get some advice on the ingredients, they are listed as follows: aloe barbadensis, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate cross polymer, panthenol, disodium, edta, sodium hydroxide, phanoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid

    well, its aloe gel... What I use is natural squeezed aloe from the plant so its 100% pure but I dont know if all those ingredients are safe, just try it and see if it works good and dont losen up your hair or anything. If it works you'll know it, if it doesnt you will notice it too haha.

    You should get an aloe plant. They are really easy to care for. Mine keeps having babies, I could send some people some if I could figure out how to safely mail aloe babies.
