Have you found that licorice extract helps with the rosacea? I tried castor oil but it's drying for my ultra sensitive skin.

Hi everyone, I have aloe vera plants and want to make my own gel. I found a recipe that calls for xanthan gum clear but it's hard to source where I live. I'm wondering if I can use regular xanthan gum instead. Anyone know? Thanks
