Honeyskin Soothing Aloe Vera Gel Made in the USA with Natural Ingredients - Give Yourself Relief From Sunburn and Dry Skin During the Hot Summer Days (8 Fl Oz)

So I ordered this while the stores could not get sanitizer and made with 90% isopropyl, 50/ 50 split per Angel recipes......Awesome and makes my dry skin happy. I can NOT say that it moisturizes but it does help the skin balance PH and retain moisture, feels silky, once dry it is not sticky. This has been a blessing for peace of mind wile working during the shut down and my customers seem to like it allot...even the men hit the bottle every time the come to the counter even though we now have other wholesale bought sanitizers on the counter for use. Oh I also gave some to a fiend that had terrible sun burn from a cloudy beach day and she was so happy after a few hours to have relief from terrible sun burn blister itch > 3 day used in combination with "body drench" moisturizer and the burn faded to a tan with minimal peal. > SO, the stem cells do work.. so YES, very good purchase for skin maintenance and sanitizer base. I recommend this if you have eczema and need a product that can work "with" your skin to help restore and protect (not moisturize) ....I have allergy's as well as eczema and have had no issues with the product after 6 mo. so far.

First, let me touch on the main intended purpose of the product, and then I will expound on the magic. As a skin moisturizer, this was unfortunately a fail for me. I bought this to use on my face, specifically to target under-eye circles. I cannot attest to the effectiveness of that purpose as, every time I used the product on my face, I suffered rash-like welts around my eyes. I have no allergies or sensitivity that I am aware of but something in this mixture negatively impacted the sensitive skin around my eyes. Next, I used the product on my legs after shaving. I habitually use a generic brand aloe gel for said purpose with wonderful results - smoother skin, no itching, burning and it stops the bleeding from any nicks. I am not a careful shaver, haha. However, I again experienced rash-like welts on my legs. The bottle sat on my caddy for a long time until I read that aloe can be beneficial to hair. I have long waist-length hair and, after moving into my home a year ago, I have been battling the effects of hard water. At one point, before I discovered vinegar rinse, my hair almost became dreadlocks! I digress - though I was able to repair and manage my hair it still remained slightly hard, dry, frizzy at the ends, and not particularly pretty. I began toying with the notion of "chopping it off." Last week, after reading that article, I grabbed this bottle. I figured even if nothing happened, it was just sitting there going to waste anyhow. After only 2 applications I woke up with soft, beautiful, flowing curls. Natural, straight out of bed! TV commercial curls! Here's the rub - I've never really had curls like this before... Oh, perhaps one side of my head would attempt a half-hearted ringlet whilst the other side was determined to impersonate a broomstick but nothing that could begin to reflect how beautiful my hair looks today. I'm not sure what witchcraft this is but I am beyond thrilled. I will happily use the rest of my bottle and purchase more!

Absolutely LOVE this product! I have been using it for 3 months on my face, body and hair. I also use it on my healing tattoos. I have noticed a significant change in my facial skin and my hair. I have fine, dry, gray hair. It feels fuller and not so frizzy. The texture and smoothness of my face is noticeably better. I love the consistency of this product. It is rich and thick. Sure, it feels slightly sticky when you put it on but it soaks in quickly and does not stay sticky. I re-apply a couple times a day as needed on my face. I put it on my hair when I get out of the shower, comb it through and blow dry as usual. I no longer need any other moisturizers. My skin no longer feels or appears dry. I am a massage therapist and I feel this product will be wonderful for facial massage on my clients. It’s good for oily, dry or sensitive skin because it’s not greasy, drying or aggravating to sensitive skin. I have found it to be consistent in quality every time I order it. I highly recommend this product!

So the product seems to be fine (as far as I can tell) and has a pleasant smell too, but it is substantially more thin than I thought it'd be. It's still pretty thick, but it's thinner than most "Aloe Vera After Sun" gels. But I'm not an aloe expert. What is most concerning to me is that (I used this to make my own hand sanitizer as the stores around me are constantly out) and as soon as I mix the alcohol (I'm using 95%, best I could muster atm), it created this cloudyness. After some shaking, these white "pulpy" looking bits actually precipitated out of the mixture. And upon draining the mixture I was left with the picture you see. It looks like gum, feels like it too. In fact, if I gave this to someone, they'd literally just think it was chewed gum. So idk what this material is, but when I mixed in the alcohol, the mixture actually heated up some (went from being cold, to being warm), so there is clearly some kind of chemical (double replacement?) reaction going on. And I don't think that's normal.... If the company or any smart chemistry people want to chime in and inform me of what is going on, if this is normal, that'd be great. I've used aftersun aloe vera to make hand sanitizer, and this has never happened (and I tend to use a bit more alcohol, just to make sure my mixture is strong).
