Silicone-Free Gel Sunscreen Formulation with Aloe Vera Base
Question
I would like to make a silicone-free gel sunscreen using an aloe vera base. Can this be done? And how can I mix SPF Protect ingredients like SPF Protect Ultra™ II or SPF Protect Ultra™ III into an aloe vera gel base like Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) or Aloe Vera Gel (Lite) to ensure even dispersion and full sun protection efficacy?
Answer
Silicone-Free Gel Sunscreen Formulation
Regarding your question about a silicone-free gel sunscreen formulation and using an aloe vera base, here is the information:
Creating a clear gel sunscreen can be technically complex and is generally not recommended for beginners. While it offers a nice clear texture, the primary benefit is aesthetic rather than functional.
For easier formulation, a standard cream-based sunscreen is much simpler to make.
However, you can use our aloe vera gel bases, such as Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) or Aloe Vera Gel (Lite), to create a sunscreen. You can mix these bases directly with SPF Protect ingredients like SPF Protect Ultra™ II or SPF Protect Ultra™ III.
It is crucial to mix thoroughly to ensure the sunscreen ingredients are completely and evenly dispersed within the gel base. This step is essential to achieve the full sun protection efficacy of the formula.
In summary, while a clear gel sunscreen is challenging, you can create a gel-like sunscreen using our aloe vera bases and SPF Protect ingredients, remembering to mix very well.
