Before we proceed further, let me tell you that many aloe vera gels available in the market that claim themselves to be pure & natural contain parabens and colors. You can use fresh aloe vera gel ! Aloe vera is very easy to grow & you can grow it easily in garden pots. You can cut a leaf and then let the yellow latex come out naturally. After it, you should wash it & you can cut leaf by a knife safely from sides. Cut the leaf into two parts & scoop out gel from the leaf. You can use it directly on skin & hair. However, if you're looking for an aloe vera gel pro style as available in market then keep reading this  article as the recipe is coming shortly.

  HOW TO MAKE MARKET STYLE ALOE VERA GEL AT HOME ???      

Here are the steps of making aloe vera gel at home  (market style) :

Ingredients : 

1. Fresh aloe vera gel leaf
2. Pure water
3. Agar agar
4. Vitamin E oil (optional)
5. Clean (small) tub container 

• Take out the fresh aloe vera gel & it's pieces as mentioned above in this article. 
• Now grind them with no or little water in a mixer jar to make juice. You can also strain juice with a muslin cloth if you like.
• Take water in a pan & then add aloe vera juice into it. Let it boil for few minutes. You will see froth coming. You can take out the froth floating on the juice with a spoon. It is important to keep it at low flame then to medium & you can keep the flame high afterwards. After few minutes, when water reduce a little bit, turn the flame off. 
• Now, add agar agar to this. Mix it well. Let it cool. (You can add 1gm per 20ml agar agar means 1gm in 20ml aloevera juice.)
• After this, you can add vitamin E oil into it. (Approx. 1-2 tsp.) 
• Pour this gel into a clean tub container or shift it into container with the help of a spoon.  Store it !

Your homemade aloe vera gel is ready  (market style). You can store it for atleast one week and use it for one week too. You can add coconut oil, almond oil too to the juice when it is in semi-liquid form. You can also add saffron when the juice is lukewarm to make gel if you like. You can also add sandalwood oil. Sandalwood oil gives fragrance to the gel & it is also good for skin.

   ■ TIPS ■   

1). You can add green color to impart green color to aloe vera gel available the in market.

2). You can add pure vitamin c tablet to to this gel to increase it's shelf life. 

3). We are not adding any chemical preservatives here, so, it's good to make it in small amount for use and you can make it again for further use.

4). You can also keep it in refrigerator.

5). You can use it on skin & hair.

6). If you add saffron & sandalwood oil to this homemade gel, then you can use it on skin only.

  ■ Important ■  

If you notice, the main difference between fresh aloevera gel & market aloe vera gel is it's consistency & color. In market aloe vera gel, green color is added & at times food grade green color is used. However, if you have noticed fresh gel is always colorless. It is odorless too. Aloe vera gel bought from market may contain various things like vitamin E, liquorice powder, saffron etc. You can always add these things to the recipe described here in this article. For gel like consistency, you can add gelatin or agar agar. I find agar agar more safe as compared to gelatin and also it can be used by all that is vegetarian & vegan people. Now, for those who are not aware of agar agar, let me tell you that 

"Agar-agar is a jelly-like substance, obtained from red algae Agar is a mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called agaropectin. It forms the supporting structure in the cell walls of certain species of algae, and is released on boiling. These algae are known as agarophytes, and belong to the Rhodophyta (red algae) phylum.

Agar has been used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia, and also as a solid substrate to contain culture media for microbiological work. Agar can be used as a laxative, an appetite suppressant, a vegetarian substitute for gelatin, a thickener for soups, in fruit preserves, ice cream, and other desserts, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for sizing paper and fabrics.

The gelling agent in agar is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from tengusa (Gelidiaceae) and ogonori (Gracilaria). For commercial purposes, it is derived primarily from ogonori. In chemical terms, agar is a polymer made up of subunits of the sugar galactose." 

"Agar-agar is a natural vegetable gelatin counterpart. White and semi-translucent, it is sold in packages as washed and dried strips or in powdered form. It can be used to make jellies, puddings, and custards. For making jelly, it is boiled in water until the solids dissolve. Sweetener, flavouring, colouring, fruit or vegetables are then added and the liquid is poured into molds to be served as desserts and vegetable aspics, or incorporated with other desserts, such as a jelly layer in a cake. Agar-agar is approximately 80% fiber, so it can serve as an intestinal regulator. Its bulking quality has been behind fad diets in Asia, for example the kanten (the Japanese word for agar-agar) diet. Once ingested, kanten triples in size and absorbs water. This results in the consumers feeling fuller. This diet has recently received some press coverage in the United States as well. The diet has shown promise in obesity studies." 

"Agar-agar, sometimes referred to as China grass, kanten, or just agar, is a gelatinous polysaccharide derived from red algae. Agar is used to gel many food products, such as puddings, desserts, jelly candy, soups, sauces, and more. It is a popular vegetarian alternative to gelatin. Vegetarians and vegans do not use gelatin because it is made from animal bones, skin, and connective tissue.
