Therefore, aloe vera gel can be made by yourself, which is more reassuring, and the materials used are absolutely natural.

Pour aloe vera juice, gel former and antibacterial agent into the measuring cup and stir well with chopsticks.

Then pour it into an empty bottle and shake it vigorously for a few minutes. After it is shaken evenly and completely blended into a gelatinous state, it can be used.
