aloe vera gel [SEP] this aloe vera gel by sdara skincare takes a few minutes to fully absorb into my skin i worried it would leave behind a sticky feeling since i could feel it on my arm the whole time it took to dry but once the gel finally absorbed i couldn t feel any residue left behind i didn t notice much of any scent either which is another positive for methe gel is clear the plastic bottle is amber colored to help keep light out i wish the bottle had a flip top or squeeze lid instead of a screw off capthe list of ingredients is what gives me pause i m not sure why sodium bicarbonate baking soda would need to be added to the organic aloe leaf juice the product description mentions we perfected our serum by enriching with vitamin e citric acid for improved nutrient absorption i don t see vitamin e listed in the ingredientsi will probably end up using this aloe vera gel to make hand sanitizer the gel is thick so it should be good for that use
