Hi Star,

I am the one who has just embarked on putting such a list together.

Hopefully it will be useful for us!

I use a cleanser with aloe in it and find it very mild (it has a lot of

other ingredients as well.) I used to put gel on my face (from a bottle or

tube) and that was ok too ( I found one without alcohol.) I wouldn't steer

clear just because of the aloe. It seems to be much stronger when taken

directly from the plant. Have you checked the archives of recent days? There

was a little thread about just this topic. It might help to look up a few of

the messages.

Hi all:

I like the rest of you are trying to figure out which suncreen &

moisterizer I can use. I tried pure aloe vera from a plant on my

face and I had a definite reaction. Stinging and red. I've heard

some people can't use aloe vera. A lot of products have aloe vera in

them. Has anyone found that aloe vera may not work on their skin in

the purest form, but it may be OK in a smaller dose?

A lot of the more natural products I've seen lately have aloe in

them. It makes it very difficult to find a product that we can use.

Thanks for any input.

It sounds like people in this support group are putting together a

rosacea ingredient list. I think that is a great idea.
