Can you explain the difference between ALOE JUICE and ALOE GEL ?
I thought that the gel basically turns to liquid when exposed to the air, is there a difference between the two?

:D it's me, i changed my name.

yes, this is the thick clear gel that you can get at walmart (fruit of the earth) or www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com and numerous other soap suppliers. it is very thick and adds to the jelly-like texture of the lotion.

aloe vera juice is the regular food-grade juice you can also get just about anywhere-walmart, natural food stores-and this have the same liquidity as water.

i tried to make this a simple no-fuss recipe with readily available supplies.

basically the gel is aloe juice that is ultra-clarified with carbomer used as a thickening agent.
