Aloe Vera Oil

[J.D. Harrington]

I was able to buy several bottles of this oil from a local distributor, but can't find the oil listed in any of the soapmaking software packages. Anyone know how I can find the magic oil numbers to add it to the Soapmaker v3.0 database manually?

Thats not a oil, its just the juice. You use it in place of water in your recipe

Obsidian is correct. It is juice which is a water replacement. WSP sells a product called Aloe Vera Oil which is just Aloe plant macerated in oil. The gel filet from aloe is not an oil-based product.

Appreciate the quick response...

Should add that I really like this aloe juice. It mixes well with lye and doesn't cause overheating of the soap.
Seems to give a little boost in lather. I try to use it with every batch but I forgot I have it.
