So just when I determined that the Trader Joe's brand of 99% pure aloe vera gel was the best. I find out that Trader Joe's only carries their aloe vera gel seasonally. So doing the winter months, you are out of luck.
So I made it to The Vitamin Shoppe store to find a 99% Aloe Vera Gel by Mill Creek Botanicals as pictured above. I love this one just as well as the Trader Joe's version.
It is Fragrance Free, Paraben Free, Glycol Free, and pH Balanced. In addition, the expiration dates are clearly marked on the packaging. The Vitamin Shoppe says that it carries this gel all year long. Yes!
This aloe vera gel is great for "wash and go" hair styling regardless of race.
