Does your Aloe Vera Gel have Alcohol in it?

[Geminigirl]

I got this from Walgreens because I haven't been able to find the Fruit of the Earth Brand Close by.

The first ingredient is Aloe B Leaf juice, water, SD Alcohol 40, Glycerin, Polsorbate 20, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Methylparaben Benzophenone-4,Imidazolidinyl Urea, Fragrance, Yellow 5, Blue 1.


Now obviously this isn't all natural right? But is it safe to use in the hair or is this better just for the skin? I got the Banana Boat brand too and that looks like it is def only for the skin cause it has to many ingridents in it that I can't pronounce.

The aloe vera gel I have is Ocean Potion 100% Aloe Gel and it has some of the same ingredients as yours. But my bottle does not contain any alcohol. On the back of the bottle it says pure and natural only necessary stabilizers and preservatives are added. I use it on my hair and mix it with shea butter, coconut and castor oils (homemade shealoe butter) with good results.

You can google the ingredients in your bottle and find out what they are and if they are drying. Some types alcohol used in cosmetics and hair products are not drying.
