• Add to water phase of your formulation
• Using Aloe Vera Juice as 100% of your water phase may cause your formulation to be unstable, and this can be controlled if you use a Chelating Agent.

*NOTE FOR FORMULATORS: Due to its high electrolyte level, Aloe Vera Juice can affect the stability of a formulation. A chelating agent can help with the stabilization.
