Hello!
For about the past year I've been using George's 100% Aloe Vera (fractionally distilled liquid) instead of water. It is completely clear and is the same consistency as water, but I feel it creates a superior bar than plain water. Here is my dilemma: I just ran out and when I tried to buy it from the store I've always purchased it from they no longer carry the George's brand. They have replaced it with 'Fruit of the Earth 99.8% pure aloe Vera gel'. The other ingredients are preservatives, citric acid and sodium benzoate. It specifically says the sodium benzoate is 1/10 of 1%.
Does anyone have any experience using this brand? I'm actually making a goat milk soap today but I add tussah silk so I need to use a bit of liquid to dissolve the silk in, as it won't dissolve in my milk slush. Also, any idea what effect sodium benzoate or citric acid will have on soap? I will probably play it safe and use plain water today, but I've already purchased a gallon container of this aloe gel and I'm really hoping I can use it! Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions!
