aloe gel

Plant-based skin balm

Aloe gel is the clear, viscous substance extracted from the inner leaf of the aloe vera plant.

It's widely used as a soothing treatment for minor burns, sunburns, and skin irritations: I slathered aloe gel on my shoulders after the beach.

Commercial versions often contain added ingredients like moisturizers or fragrances.
