Choosing effective Aloe vera products can be challenging. Once a leaf is cut, enzymes start to break down
some of the long chain sugars which make Aloe vera gel an effective healing product, so it is important for the plant to have been properly handled and stabilized. Ask for help in selecting a reputable company to buy from. When shopping for a product to use for topical healing, look for Aloe vera to be one of the first products listed to ensure that it is not too dilute to be efficacious. Commercial, stabilized gel products may not work as well as the fresh gel, but cold processing is thought to best retain the beneficial properties. The FDA does not regulate labeling of Aloe vera products. Aloe vera juice is most often the form of the gel that
is used internally. At least half of the juice should be Aloe vera gel. If laxative properties are not desired, be sure that the juice does not contain latex. A product that is made from the whole leaf does not necessarily contain anthraquinones from the latex layer, as those are watersoluble and can be separated out during processing. Capsules and tinctures of the gel are also available. Oral forms of the latex extract are generally capsules, as it is extremely bitter.

If you live by the beach, go look for the plant, break a leaf,
take out the gel and put it on where you need to.
Or any kind of Drugstore, buy pure in a bottle; by the Sun -lotions!
