Why this is our pick
A topical aloe gel built from fresh organic aloe juice rather than powder, thickened with seaweed instead of xanthan so it absorbs cleanly with no sticky residue. The short, fully-disclosed ingredient list and rapid absorption make it a versatile pick for skin and hair rituals.

- after-sun
This is the unscented 99% Organic No-Xanthan gel (12 oz). As a cosmetic gel it includes a small, disclosed amount of thickener and preservative, and the packaging is opaque plastic: fine for keeping light out, just not glass. Patch test, and if your skin is sensitive, make sure you're comfortable with the preservative.
