How To Make A Transparent Aloe Vera Gel Soothing and moisturising (To Market )

Hello guys, welcome back to my channel. I hope you are all well. In today's tutorial, I will be sharing with you how I make my professional Aloe Vera gel. Aloe Vera gel is one of those products that is easier and cheaper to make at home and gives you more control over what goes into your skincare. This can be marketed as a professional product if you follow good formulation and packaging practices. To prepare a stable aloe vera gel that is soothing, Hydrating and can be used as a base for other skincare products or on its own. You only need five ingredients. I will be mixing the ingredients in a beaker. The first ingredient we need is distilled water. I pour the distilled water into the beaker. The next ingredient I add to the distilled water is glycerin. Glycerin is a natural humectant meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin. When combined with aloe vera gel, it provides a range of benefits. It enhances hydration, improves skin barrier, smooths skin texture, has a soothing effect on the skin, and is non-grazy. After mixing in the glycerin, I add the next ingredient, aloe vera powder. Add the aloe vera powder to the distilled water and mix until it dissolves. There are two types of aloe vera powder on the market. Aloe vera powder 100 times and aloe vera powder 200 times. This number tells you how concentrated the powder is. If you are preparing aloe vera gel for personal use and not for sale, you can use fresh aloe vera gel straight from the plant. It is a wonderful ingredient. However, it is important to note that fresh aloe vera gel is not very stable and will spoil quickly, even if you add a preservative. You need to keep it refrigerated and use it up quickly. If you are formulating the gel to sell or to market it, I strongly recommend using aloe vera powder. It provides much greater stability, quality and consistency, all of which are essential for a professional product. I mix until the aloe vera powder dissolves. When the aloe vera powder dissolves, I add the next ingredient, the preservative. This preservative will protect the gel from bacteria, yeast and mold. After adding in the preservative, I mix for some seconds. Guys, bear in mind that some preservatives can cause aloe vera gel to turn white or cloudy due to interactions with the alloy or thickeners. This is why it is important to choose a compatible preservative. While certain brands prefer to use alcohol as a preservative because it is inexpensive and provides a cooling and quick drying finish, it can be drying and less gentle on the skin. This is why I prefer a more skin-friendly option. After mixing in the preservative, the next ingredient I add is the gelling agent. This gelling agent is a high purity cosmetic grade gelling agent specifically designed to give excellent clarity and a light elegant feel. It performs better than standard xanthan gum clear which can sometimes make aloe vera gels cloudy or too thick. One of the reasons I love using this specific gelling agent is that it can be added directly to the water phase without the need to predispose it in glycerin like you would with regular xanthan balm. It hydrates quickly and evenly making the process faster and giving a much clearer smoother gel. It thickens the gel slightly, making it easier to apply and helping it stay on the skin without feeling sticky. It also helps to stabilize the gel, ensuring that the ingredients remain evenly mixed over time. From this stage on, continue mixing, making breaks every now and then until you get a smooth texture. As you mix, you will notice how the gel becomes thicker and After mixing for about 3 minutes, the gelling agent has completely dissolved. The next step is to test the pH value of the gel. To test the pH value, I add the gel to 6 grams of distilled water, mix well, then dip my pH strip into the mixture for about 10 seconds. Remove it and see what the pH value is. As you can see, the pH value is 5, which is perfect. If the pH is too high or too low, some of the aloe vera's beneficial components can degrade. Guys, look at this texture. Just perfect. I love it. The next step is to transfer this gel into a clean sterile container, seal it airtight, and keep at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
