Azlok's 99% Pure Aloe Vera Gel is a clear, ready-to-use gel extracted from fresh aloe vera leaves and gently preserved so its natural goodness stays intact. You can apply it directly to skin and hair, or use it as a base ingredient in creams, gels, serums and hair products. It is a cosmetic raw material meant for topical use, not for eating.
What is 99% Pure Aloe Vera Gel?
This is a lightweight, colourless to pale yellow gel made by extracting the gel-like substance from aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) leaves. To keep it stable and safe for months, it is blended with a small amount of humectants, stabilisers and gentle preservatives. The full ingredient list is Aqua, Aloe Vera Extract, Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Vitamin E, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate.
The odour is mild, ranging from odourless to a faint flowery note, so it blends easily into fragranced or unscented formulations. It is water-soluble and mixes cleanly with most aqueous cosmetic bases.
Common uses for skin and hair
Aloe vera gel is one of the most versatile ingredients you can keep at home. A few practical ways to use it:
- Soothing after-sun gel: Smooth a thin layer over skin that feels warm or dry after time outdoors.
- Lightweight face moisturiser: Use alone on oily or combination skin, or layer under a heavier cream.
- Hair and scalp: Massage into the scalp before shampooing, or use a little as a leave-in to tame frizz.
- DIY base: Fold it into face masks, gel moisturisers, aftershave gels, hair styling gels and hand sanitiser bases.
- Shaving aid: A thin coat makes a comfortable, low-lather glide for razors.
How to use it
For direct use, apply a small amount to clean skin or damp hair and spread evenly. A little goes a long way. Because the gel is water-based, it absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film.
For makers, treat this as a functional cosmetic ingredient rather than pure leaf juice. Typical addition rates depend on your recipe, so start small and test. Since it already contains a preservative system, it works well in water-phase blends, but any finished product you make with added water still needs its own adequate preservation. Keep tools and containers clean to avoid introducing contamination.
Tips and safety notes
Aloe gel suits most skin types, but sensible caution helps:
- Patch test first. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using on the face or larger areas.
- External use only. This is a cosmetic raw material. Do not ingest it and keep it away from the eyes.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- If irritation, redness or itching occurs, stop use and rinse with plain water.
- For DIY work, note that adding fresh ingredients, water or botanicals can shorten shelf life and may require extra preservative testing.

Azlok offers this aloe vera gel from a 450 gm new pack starting at ₹289, going up to 1 KG, 5 KG, 10 KG, 20 KG and 25 KG for regular users and small businesses. The smaller pack suits home users; the bulk sizes are handy for soap and cosmetic makers and salons.
Store the gel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and close the lid tightly after each use. With proper storage it carries a shelf life of around 24 months. Use clean, dry hands or a spatula to prevent contamination, and if you notice any change in colour, smell or texture, discard it.
