Do-it-yourself recipes

Here is a very simple recipe to make an excellent after-sun at home.

In order to do this, only two ingredients are needed: aloe gel and xanthan gum to which you can optionally add essential oils to taste.

Aloe is certainly a very valuable ingredient in after-sun products but very often it is used in small quantities combined with other raw materials .. in this recipe, however, we will prepare a superconcentrate!

A gelatinous substance is extracted from the leaves of Aloe which, used fresh or properly processed, has anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties and is therefore suitable for a large number of ailments both for internal and external use (If you are not lucky enough to have plants of aloe at home here you can find our organic aloe extract directly).

Anyone who has tried it after a sunburn or after a day at the beach will surely be able to testify to the benefits of using this precious gel as an after sun. Refreshes, gives a feeling of immediate well-being, nourishes the skin and prolongs the duration of the tan.

If you want to make the use of aloe easier, you can make a gel at home simply by adding Xanthan Gum to pure Aloe, which is nothing more than a gellifying plant extract (chemically a polysaccharide obtained from the fermentation of a sugar).
