What the ingredients of aloe vera to make a gel?
To make aloe vera gel at home, you'll need the following ingredients: Aloe Vera Leaf: Select a mature, healthy aloe vera leaf. Look for thick leaves from the outer part of the plant. Knife: Use a clean, sharp knife to cut the aloe vera leaf from the plant. Cutting Board: A clean cutting board to provide a stable surface for cutting the aloe vera leaf. Spoon or Scoop: Use a spoon or a scooping tool to scoop out the clear gel from inside the aloe vera leaf. Blender or Food Processor: You'll need a blender or food processor to blend the aloe vera gel into a smooth consistency. Storage Container: Choose a clean, airtight container to store the aloe vera gel. Glass containers are often preferred. Optional Ingredients (Preservatives, Essential Oils, Vitamin E, etc.): If you want to extend the shelf life of your homemade aloe vera gel, you can add natural preservatives such as vitamin E oil or grapefruit seed extract. Additionally, you can add a few drops of essential oils for fragrance and extra benefits. Steps to Make Aloe Vera Gel: Harvest the Aloe Vera Gel: Cut a mature aloe vera leaf close to the base of the plant. Allow the yellowish resin to drain out. Wash the Leaf: Rinse the aloe vera leaf under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the Skin: Trim the spiky edges and peel off the skin from one side of the leaf, exposing the clear gel. Scoop Out the Gel: Use a spoon or scooping tool to carefully scoop out the clear gel from the leaf. Avoid the yellow latex layer close to the skin, as it can be irritating. Blend the Gel: Place the aloe vera gel in a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, add natural preservatives, essential oils, or vitamin E oil during the blending process. Store in a Container: Transfer the blended aloe vera gel into a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate: Store the aloe vera gel in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life. Homemade aloe vera gel may not last as long as commercial products, so it's essential to keep it refrigerated and use it within a reasonable time frame. Keep in mind that while aloe vera gel is generally safe for topical use, it's advisable to perform a patch test to ensure you don't have any allergic reactions. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.

What is the difference between Aloe Ferox and Aloe Vera and where can you get Aloe Ferox products?
A comparison of the chemical composition of Aloe feroxand Aloe vera was performed based on values available in the literature (Femenia 1999, Mabusela 1990). It must be noted, however, that concentrations tend to vary seasonally and geographically (Grindlay1986).The different monosaccharide components of the polysaccharides present in the Aloe ferox and Aloe vera gel are compared (expressed as mol%). {| |- | Monosaccharide Aloe vera Aloe ferox (gel) (gel) Rhamnose 1.69 3 Fucose 1.94 1 Arabinose 1.92 5 Xylose 2.34 13 Mannose 46.07 35 Galactose 4.97 5 Glucose 27.03 46|} Similarly, scientific tests comparing the differences between Aloe ferox and Aloe vera plants (whole leafs), growing side by side, were performed at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town, South Africa.The tests demonstrated the following:1. The freshly cut leaf of Aloe ferox produced approximately 20 times more bitter sap,weight by weight, than the Aloe vera.2. Aloe vera has a much softer and more translucent inner gel. It is also notably moremucinous.3. After extraction, the juice of the Aloe vera leaves decolourizes and loses its viscositymuch more rapidly than does the juice of Aloe ferox.4. The solids content of the juice in Aloe ferox were constantly greater in volume thanthose obtained from Aloe vera.5. The amino acid content of Aloe ferox is almost double that of Aloe vera (see table).{| |- | Amino Acids Aloe vera Aloe ferox(Whole Leaf) (Whole Leaf) Glutamic acid 4.7 2.8 Asparagine 3.29 14.47 Aspartic acid 1.75 1.41 Serine 1.27 1.69 Glycine 0.95 1.25 Alanine 0.91 1.04 Glutamine 0.83 3.82 Valine ** 0.36 0.56 Threonine ** 0.33 0.9 Proline 0.25 0.46 Lysine ** 0.18 0.08 Arginine 0.12 0.05 Leucine ** 0.09 0.12 Phenylalanine ** 0.08 0.07 Isoleucine ** 0.07 0.12 Tyrosine 0.06 0.05 Cystine 0.04 0.01 Histidine 0.03 0.02 Methionine ** 0.02 0.07 Tryptophane ** 0 0 Total Concentration (nMol/mg dry mass) 15.33 28.99Aloe ferox and Aloe vera contain 7 of the 8 essential (** in table) amino acids and all theother 12 non-essential amino acids.Similarly the mineral concentrations of Aloe vera (Femenia 1999) were compared to typicalconcentration measured in Aloe ferox (expressed as % of dry matter).Minerals Aloe vera Aloe ferox (Whole Leaf) (Whole Leaf) Calcium (Ca) 3.58 8.82 Magnesium (Mg) 1.22 1.68 Sodium (Na) 3.66 3.08 Potassium (K) 4.06 6.3 Phosphorus (P) 0.02 Iron (Fe) 0.1 0.54 Copper (Cu) 0.06 0.04 Zinc (Zn) 0.02 0.8It is evident that Aloe ferox contains a higher concentration of these minerals, which can potentially ascribed to its harvesting in its natural habitat and not in domesticated fields. As can be seen the chemical composition of Aloe verais comparable to that of Aloe ferox.---- More links on Aloe Ferox and Aloe Ferox Products Available:African Cures :: Alofe Aloe Ferox Products :: FeroxAloe.com |}
